DUMNONOS. "Son
of Dumno." The Genitive form of Celtic Dumno
("world"), the god of the Dobuni.
... In Ireland, again, their (novæ
gentes) name appears in that of the Fir-Domnann, or men of (the
divinity) Domnu. "Put this word Domnu," says Professor
Rhys, "back into what must have been its early form, and you will
have a nominative Dumnu and a genitive Dumnonos, implying a stem
Dumnon. Form from the latter an adjective Dumonios: you will then
have as its plural Dumnonii, the attested name of the two peoples of
Roman Britain, situated respectively by the Severne Sea and the First of
Forth. (The Age of Saints, Borlase, 1893)
