ガリア語では、Cernunnosの名前の語源は、「角」「鹿の角」を意味するkarnonである。
In [[Gaulish]], the name Cernunnos is rooted in the word ''karnon'' which means "horn" or "antler". Karnon is cognate with Latin ''cornu'' and Germanic ''*hurnaz'', ultimately from [[Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] ''{{PIE|[[:wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/ḱerh₂-|*k̑r̥no-]]}}''.<ref>[[Pokorny (1959)]] "k̑er-, k̑erə-; k̑rā-, k̑erei-, k̑ereu"[http://www.utexas.edu/cola/centers/lrc/ielex/X/P0929.html] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140307155522/http://www.utexas.edu/cola/centers/lrc/ielex/X/P0929.html |date=2014-03-07 }}</ref>
The etymon ''karn-'' "horn" appears in both [[Gaulish language|Gaulish]] and [[Galatian language|Galatian]] branches of [[Continental Celtic]]. [[Hesychius of Alexandria]] glosses the Galatian word ''karnon'' (κάρνον) as "Gallic trumpet", that is, the Celtic military horn listed as the [[carnyx]] (κάρνυξ) by [[Eustathius of Thessalonica]], who notes the instrument's animal-shaped bell.<ref>Delamarre; Greek text and English translation of the passage from Eustathius' [[Homeric epics|Homeric]] [[commentary (philology)|commentaries]] given by Edward Wigan, "Account of a Collection of Roman Gold Coins", ''Numismatic Chronicle'' 5 (1865), p. 11 [https://books.google.com/books?id=0VwUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA11&dq=carnyx+Eustathius&hl=en&ei=yEPDTMPmA4SfnAf__a3UCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCsQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=carnyx%20Eustathius&f=false online.]</ref> The root also appears in the names of [[List of Celtic tribes|Celtic polities]], most prominent among them the [[Carnutes]], meaning something like "the Horned Ones",<ref>Also ''[[Carni]]'' and ''[[Carnonacae]]''.</ref> and in several [[personal name]]s found in inscriptions.<ref>Such as ''Carnarus'', ''Carnatus'', ''Carneolus'', ''Carnius'', and ''Carnicus''.
