Commentary

Compound personal name in the nominative with apocope of final /s/. Also attested in the genitive in Cisalpine Celtic aśkoneti and Gaulish adgonneti (Narbonnensis), though the genitives may also have underlying adgonnetos; without the derivative suffix RIIG GAR-01-01 (RIG G-156) αδγοννος (Alès), CIL XII 3370 adgonna (Nîmes) (see AcS I: 41, KGP: 113, Delamarre 2007: 12, 28, 210).

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. See further on aśkoneti.
