プロト・ケルト語のテオニムの形態は、*''Carno-on-os''として再構築されている。マポノス、エポナ、マトロエナ、シローナなどのように、増大詞の-on-はテオニムの特徴である<ref>Delamarre, citing M.

「ケルヌンノス」は、ケルト人によっては、ガリア神話の中でもっとよく知られた神の不明瞭な蔑称であると信じている。おそらく『ローマ語訳（Interpretatio Romana）』にメルクリウスまたはディス・パテルとして記述されている神で<ref name="Anne Ross 1967"/>、ケルヌンノスの精神文化または神々の関連性を共有していると考えられていた<ref name=Breviary2005>Celtic Culture: A Historical Encyclopedia, Breviary A., Kock John T., ABC-CLIO, volume1, 2005, Celticism, pages396, isbn:978-1851094400, id:f899xH_quaMC, page=396</ref>。
"Cernunnos" is believed by some Celticists to be an obscure epithet of a better attested Gaulish deity; perhaps the god described in the [[interpretatio Romana]] as [[Mercury (mythology)|Mercury]] or [[Dis Pater]],<ref name="Anne Ross 1967"/> which are considered to share Cernunnos's [[psychopomp]] or [[chthonic]] associations. The name has only appeared once with an image, when it was inscribed on the ''[[Pillar of the Boatmen|Nautae Parisiaci]]'' (the sailors of the [[Parisii (Gaul)|Parisii]], who were a tribe of [[Gauls]]).<ref name=Breviary2005>{{cite book|title=Celtic Culture: A Historical Encyclopedia|last1=Breviary|first1=A.|editor1-last=Kock|editor1-first=John T.|publisher=ABC-CLIO|volume=1|edition=|year=2005|chapter=Celticism|pages=396|isbn=978-1851094400|url={{Google books|plainurl=yes|id=f899xH_quaMC|page=396}}}}</ref> Otherwise, variations of the name Cernunnos has also been found in a Celtic inscription written in [[Greek alphabet|Greek characters]] at [[Montagnac, Hérault|Montagnac]], [[Hérault]] (as καρνονου, ''karnonou'', in the [[dative case]]).<ref>Xavier Delamarre, ''Dictionnaire de la langue gauloise'' (Éditions Errance, 2003), pp. 106–107.</ref> A [[Vulgar Latin|Gallo-Latin]] [[adjective]] ''carnuātus'', "horned", is also found.<ref>Equivalent to Latin ''cornutus'', "horned"; Delamarre, citing J.
