Coates' own theory is that the name derives from an Old European
(pre-Celtic) name *Plowonida, from Indo-European roots *plew-,
which underlies words in different languages meaning London
flat to rent 'flow', 'swim' and 'boat'; and *nejd-, an element
meaning 'flow', found in various river names around Europe.
His suggestion is that this name, meaning either 'boat river'
or 'swimming river' was applied to the Thames where it becomes
too wide to ford, in the vicinity of London. (He does admit
that compound names are London flat to rent comparatively
rare for rivers in the Indo-European area, but they are not
unknown). The settlement on its banks would then be named
from it, with the suffix -on-jon, in either Old European or
Celtic times, giving *(p)lowonidonjon. Indo-European /p/ regularly
disappears in Celtic, so this would have gone through *Lowonidonjon
and either *Loondonjon or *Lonidonjon to *Lundonjon and hence
Lundein or Lundyn. An advantage of the form *Lonidonjon is
that it London flat to rent could account for Latin Londinium
by metathesis to *Lonodinjon.
