Commentary

Individual name in the nominative with Latinised ending. The base may be analysed as *eχsobn- 'fearless', cf. esopnos (see there for details on the analysis and comparanda), esopnio, exobna. *[χs] is spelled with sigma also in the two alphabetically Lepontic attestations; the labial in obn- may be assimilated via -ou̯n- (cf. RIU VI 1359 exounomarae (dat.)) > -ōn-, or via -omn- > -onn-. Solinas in Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2011: 104, n. 13 and 22 compares instances of *eχsobn-, but in Cresci Marrone & Solinas 2013: 47 she points out that there are no other attestations of the name with completely assimilated labial, and prefers to compare esoniana [tegula] in a pottery stamp from the area of Padova (1st c. AD) – which, however, in absence of an Italic etymology, may well also belong with the *eχsobn-names.

See the inscription page on the possibility of a homographic patronym esonius formed from the individual name.
