Etymology
, but likely from, from + *-injo-, a suffix forming specific nouns and found in other Romano-Celtic placenames. Cognate to, whence 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, as well as , whence 🇨🇬.

Forms in -don- could be artificial Latinizations modelled after e.g. <  (modern Wroxeter). Appears as 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, which may not continue the Classical Latin form, but may continue Late British Latin *Lundeinju if the medial -i- of the original word was short. Cf. Etymology of London.

Pronunciation
