Where this word comes from

From *cein + -ach, derived from an otherwise unattested Proto-Celtic *kasnī, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱh₂s-n-. Cognates include Old Prussian sasnis (“hare”), Pashto سوی (soe, “hare”), Sanskrit शश (śaśa, “hare”), Proto-Germanic *hesô (“hare”) (whence English hare), Latin cānus (“white”), cascus (“old”). Related to Welsh cannu (“to whiten”). Thus ceinach originally meant "(the) grey/white one". Likely unrelated to Latin cuniculus (rabbit) and all its derivations.
