Commentary
Numerous Continental Celtic personal names are formed with a base at- or att-, e.g. attus, at(t)o, atta, attius/-o/-a, atilo/-a, atilius/-a, atalo, atinus, atisso, attallos (see AcS I: 263–281, Untermann 1961: 4–7 and 1960: 289, Lochner von Hüttenbach 1989: 21–23, Meid 2005: 253 f., Delamarre 2007: 212 et passim). There are doubtless multiple etyma underlying these names; a candidate especially for forms with geminate /tt/ is the Lallwort atta 'foster father' (see DLG: 59), which exists in Celtic (OIr. aite, see LEIA: A-52 f., Stifter 2024: 7) as well as in neighbouring IE languages including Italic. Hypocorisms of compound names in ate- probably also play a part (Untermann 1961b: 144).
