Commentary
Compound personal name in the genitive, with patronymic function in the only attestation (Lejeune 1971: 52, Evans 1972: 182, Lejeune 1990: 71). Also attested in Cisalpine Celtic aśkonetio in the nominative, and in Gaulish in the genitive adgonneti (Narbonnensis), without the derivative suffix RIIG GAR-01-01 (RIG G-156) αδγoννο̣ς̣, CIL XII 3370 adgonna (Nîmes) (see AcS I: 41, KGP: 113, Delamarre 2007: 12, 28, 210). aśkonetio indicates that the underlying form of the genitive attestations is also a i̯o-stem.
While the preverb ad- (Stifter 2010: 372) and the derivative suffix -et- are clear, the exact semantics of the base gonn- (see the morpheme page for details) and therefore of the entire name are uncertain. Lejeune 1971: 57 f., n. 156 translates 'belonging to the gens' without taking the derivative (agentive?) suffix into account.
An alternative analysis is proposed by Tibiletti Bruno 1978: 151, who assumes that -et- is suffixed to a name like asconius (cf. Schmidt's explanation of gon(n)- summarised on the morpheme page).
