Where this word comes from
Of Celtic origin, the river name is from Gaulish Sequana, a water goddess later incorporated into Gallo-Roman culture. The name's origin is uncertain, but possibly from Proto-Indo-European *seykʷ- (“to pour, spill, trickle”). However, since Gaulish was largely a P-Celtic language, the q may not represent Indo-European -kʷ- but rather an original form like *Sek-ooana-. Therefore, the Gaulish name could be from a pre-Celtic hydronym.
