Etymology
Already attested as Latindorna(“trough; concave”) in local 10th-century Latin charters. From a substrate language, from *dru-no-(“trough”), from Proto-Indo-European*dóru(“tree”).[1] Alternatively from Proto-Celtic*durnos(“fist, hand”) (compare Bretondorn, Irishdorn); the word could have been first a unit of length, later becoming a unit of volume and a container,[2] and later a ship, or either it was a reference to the concavity of the hand. Cognate with Spanishduerna, Occitandorna and Frenchdorne.
