| Most likely refers to a Chapel. As there are no rules to spelling in Swiss German, anybody can spell anything anyway they like, which can lead to confusion such as this. | |

Spelling has never rules but is always customary and by agreement. Never the less local spelling in Swiss German, specially on maps is mostly consistent. The most differences are due to local variations.
And do not forget, there are even Grammar book and dictionaries.

Now, "little hat" as a street name would be rather odd. Not impossible, but very, unlikely. But as we know that it is in "Kanton Lozärn", Chäppeli is a very common local spelling of "little chapel". Furthermore at the beginning of the street in question is the actual chapel:
