Commentary

Most likely an on-stem personal name in the genitive, but see also Delamarre 2007: 227, who analyses the name as kom- + mono- '?' (thus an o-stem). Possibly a short name derived from a compound with first element kom-, cf. como, also comio, RIG L-135 comios, G-154 κομμου (dat.), comm(i)us, and (uncertain) koma at Giubiasco (cf. Lejeune 1971: 63 f., n. 207, Delamarre 2007: 70 f.).

Also attested as base of a patronym, see komoneos.
