Primitive Irish
Etymology
From Proto-Celtic *windos (“white, fair”), perhaps compounded with a derivative of *genos (“birth”), thus meaning “fair born”. However, some scholars emend the word to ᚃᚓᚅᚇᚐᚌᚅᚔ (vendagni), indicating a formation with the extremely common and productive suffix -ᚐᚌᚅᚔ (-agni).
The vocalism of the first syllable is unexplained, since both Proto-Celtic *windos and Old Irish finn unambiguously have i, not e. Yet there are many Primitive Irish names that begin with ᚃᚓᚅᚇ- (vend-) and none that begin with ᚃᚔᚅᚇ- (vind-).
Proper noun
