Tenna

Meaning

1. A river in Marche.

Etymology / origin

Borrowed from Italian Tenna, from Latin Tinna, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *th₂i-n-, from an extension of *teh₂- (“to dissolve, melt”), via an unknown source language, perhaps Italic; compare Proto-Celtic *tīn (“river”). As such, possibly a doublet of Tyne and Teign.
