Improvement is needed by someone with a good knowledge of French in light of the fr:wikipedia article.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 16:45, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. Etymon means the ancestor word of a given word or words, in this case the ancestor from which all the place names on bullet points descended. Regrettably the Etymology article doesn't explain that, but it's probably the closest article still. — Eru·tuon 17:21, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
