Names beginning in ''sur''- are well attested, see {{bib|AcS}} II: 1672–1682, {{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: 175, but etymologically unclear. While a subset of the numerous attestations of ''surus'', ''sura'' are likely to belong to other languages than Celtic, their distribution suggests that an etymologically Celtic strand is part of the mix (cf. {{bib|AcS}} II: 1678, {{bib|GPN}}: 472 f., {{bib|Meid 2005}}: 289). *''suH-ro''- 'sour' floated by Meid (cf. {{bib|IEW}}: 1039) is not continued in Celtic; possibly the base is itself shortened from names in ''su''- 'good' + second element in ''r''-, e.g. ''su-{{m||rat-}}os'' or ''surios'', which is analysed as ''su-{{m||rii̯-}}os'' (a Deckname for ''syrios'') by {{bib|Delamarre 2007}}: 175.
