Commentary
Compound personal name with first element kintu- 'first' (cf. Casini & Motta 2011: 467). A comparandum exists in the Galatian name centaretus (Pliny Nat. Hist. 8.158; also κεντοαράτης Aelianus Nat. Anim. 6.44, cintaretus Solinus 45.13; AcS I: 988 f., Freeman 2001: 37 f.), which – though evidently corrupt – shows the cluster in the first element and /t/ in the second element (thus excluding a comparison with CIL XIII 10010.1975 uaredo, 3707 uaredonius (u̯o-rēd-?) in Germania superior). The second element is best analysed as u̯a-reto- 'help' (as in OW -guaret 'deliver, help') lit. 'first helper, who comes to aid first', which finds a semantic comparandum in Breton cadwored with first element katu- lit. 'helper in battle' (cf. atepu). The form attests the sporadic development of u̯o- 'under' > u̯a-; cf. uasekia, uasi.
Alternatively, but unlikely, the second element could be u̯ar- suffixed with agentive -et-. An element u̯ara- or u̯ari- is sporadically attested in Gaulish names (see Delamarre 2007: 235 et passim) and unclear in terms of etymology; options include PIE *u̯ers- 'rise' (see uarsileos), PIE *u̯er- 'perceive', from which Matasović 2009: 219 f. derives *u̯ari̯o- in *ko(m)-u̯ari̯o- > OIr. coir, MW cywair 'in proper order' with generalised zero-grade (also OIr. córae < *ko(m)-u̯ari̯ā 'justice'; cf. Stifter 2003: 240 on the ethnonym quariates), u̯er-/u̯ar- '(body of) water' in the ethnonym trēu̯erī and, according to Vendryes 1936: 374, with zero-grade in the toponyms u̯arei̯ā (ES) and argantou̯ari̯ā (FR) and in the Gaulish ethnonym ambiu̯aretī (Caesar, B.G. VII 75.2), where it would appear with the same suffix as in kituaretos.
