CUNOTIGERNOS. Celtic
name composed of Cuno "chief, lord" or "king,"
and the name Tigernos
("chief"), hence "Lord Tigernos," or "head chief." (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884;
and, Mythology
of All Races, v.3, 1918)
Professor
Rhys takes this very name Glasgow as illustrative of the spread of the
Goidelic as against the Brythonic Pictish idioms. Thus
in his work on Celtic Britain (p. 195), to which I am greatly
indebted, he says—"Next may be mentioned the name of Kentigern,
which would be pronounced by his kinsmen in his time Cunotigernos, or
the like, in the first part of which the Goidels discerned the word for
hound, and called the saint In Glas Chú, or the grey hound; so
though he was a Brython, and the place he settled at finally was in the
land of the Cumbrians, it is now known only by his Goidelic name as
Glasgow." (Transactions of the Glasgow Archaeological Society, v.2,
1883)
