Coates[1] says (p.211) that "The earliest non-mythic
speculation ... centred on the possibility of deriving London
flat rentals London from Welsh Llyn din, supposedly 'lake
fort' (? or 'fort lake'). But llyn derives from British *Lind-,
which is incompatible with all the early attestations.
H. D'Arbois de Jubainville suggested in 1899[13] that the
name meant Londino's fortress. But Coates argues that there
is no such personal name recorded, and that D'Arbois' suggested
etymology for London flat rentals it (from Celtic *londo-,
'fierce') would have a short vowel. |

Coates notes that this theory was repeated
by linguistics up to the 1960s, and more recently still in
less specialist works.
"The first of the scientific explanations" according
to Coates[1] (p. 212) was from London flat rentals Giovanni
Alessio in 1951[14]. He proposed a Ligurian rather than a
Celtic origin, with a root *lond-/lont- meaning 'mud' or 'marsh'.
Coates' major criticisms are that this does not have the required
long vowel (an alternative form Alessio proposes, *lona, has
the long vowel, but lacks the required consonant), and that
there is no evidence of Ligurian in Britain.
The other suggestion that Coates considers worthy of discussion
was by Jean-Gabriel Gigot in 1974. In an London flat rentals
article principally about St Martin de Londres in Herault
in France, [15] Gigot tries to apply the Germanic root proposed
for that name (*lohna) to the topography of London.
