Etymology: Partly < Aquitania (classical Latin Aquītānia ), the name of a province of Roman Gaul ( < classical Latin Aquītānī , the name of the Gaulish inhabitants of this region + -ia -ia suffix¹) + -an suffix, and partly < Aquitaine (French Aquitaine ), the later name of this region (corresponding to an area in the south-west of present-day France) + -ian suffix. In sense A. 2 after German Aquitanien (K. Meyer 1857, in Verhandl. der allgemeinen schweiz. Ges. f. die gesammten Naturwiss. 171). Compare French aquitanien (1882, earliest in sense A. 2).

A. adj.
