TIGERNONOS.
A Celtic name meaning "the divine lord." Some authors
render it "great king." See note under Tigernos.
... -onos and -ona were
favourite Keltic terminations for the names of gods and goddesses
respectively, and certain Welsh names ending in -on of legendary
characters appear from their very structure to have been at one time the
names of deities. In addition to Mabon
(Maponos)
and Modron
(Matrona),
already mentioned, may be adduced Rhiannon
(Regantona),
meaning "the divine queen," Teyrnon
(Tigernonos), "the divine lord," Banon
(Banona),
"the divine lady," Amaethon
(Ambactonos),
"the divine husbandman," Gofannon
(Gobannonos),
"the divine smith." The two latter names suggest the
existence among the Kelts of Britain of departmental deities... (The
Cambridge Medieval History, Bury, v.2, 1913)
