CUNO. Celtic
name meaning "chief, lord; or king."
... Here we have a Belgico-Celtic word beyond all doubt, as konig,
in the same sense, is still in use all over Germany...
There are some remarks in the celebrated Edward
Lhuyd's Correspondence on this name as printed in the Archaeologia
Cambrensis for 1859, p. 248. He says that "the ancient
Britons and Romans expressed Kyn in British names by Cuno,
and that towards the eighth century, both the Britons and Irish rendered
it con."
... This title, CVNO, in fact, first appears
connected with the name of Cunobeline
(q.v.), and became disused in about five centuries, the last instance of it
being in the name Cvneglas, in the History of Gildas, c.
32. In short, the class of names to which Lhuyd appears to allude
as Conmarch, etc., are composites of cyn in the
signification of "head" or "chief," and not of the
title CVNO... (Celtic Inscriptions on Gaulish
& British Coins, Poste, 1861)
