Attestation: VA·27 (kaio) (1)
Language: perhaps Celtic
Word Type: proper noun
Semantic Field: personal name

Grammatical Categories: nom. sg.
Stem Class: o, on

Morphemic Analysis: kai̯ or kai̯o(s)
Phonemic Analysis: /kai̯ō/ or /kai̯o/ (?)

Commentary

Most probably a masculine personal name, either an o-stem with dropped -/s/ or a Latinised on-stem kai̯ō. A Celtic etymology is possible, but not certain (see kai̯-).
