nantn.

Brit.

/nant/, U.S.

/nænt/

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Welsh. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Welsh nant; French nant.

Etymology: Partly < Welsh nant stream, valley (compare Old Cornish nans valley, Old Breton, Breton nant valley: see below), and partly < French regional (south-east, especially Savoie) nant watercourse, torrent < Gaulish nanto valley, stream (see below).The further etymology of the Celtic base is uncertain; a relationship with Gaulish nemeton (see nemoral adj.) is possible. With reference to France, perhaps as semi-naturalized loan /nɒ̃/. Attested widely in place names in Wales and France.

Now rare.

A valley. Also: a brook.
