Ancient Greek

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Of Celtic origin, from Gaulish *Rodonos, *Rotonos, from a Proto-Celtic root similar to *reteti (“to flow, run, roll”). Lambert argues that this could have prefixed a second element akin to the root of the river name Danube, Proto-Indo-European *dʰenh₂- (“to set in motion; to flow”).[1] Alternatively, possibly from a hypothetical Proto-Celtic *ɸro-dena- (“to flow forth”), from Proto-Indo-European *pro- (“toward, forward”) and the previously mentioned root.
