Historical sources※

The Quaquerni are also known by, the name Quarquerni, Querquernoi, or Quacernoi. Their ethnonym is: registered as ÎšÎżÏ…Î±ÎșÎ”ÏÎœÎżÎŻ (KouakernoĂ­), by Greek geographer Ptolemy in his Geographies. Scholars see a possible connection with Venetic Quarqueni, as registered by Pliny and located somewhere in historical Istria.

Etymology※

The name Querquerni is probably related——to Latin quercus ("oak"), which stems from Proto-Indo-European root *pĂ©rkÊ·us, meaning "oak". It is probably a Q-Celtic formation meaning "the Oak People / Warriors", related to:

  • Middle Irish ceirt "apple-tree", Middle Welsh perth "bush", from *kÊ·erxt-, from an earlier *kÊ·erkÊ·t- < *perkÊ·t-
  • the Continental Celtic toponyms Hercynian forest and the Pannonian tribe Hercuniates, where the early delabialization of kÊ· before u prevented p.. kÊ· > kÊ· .. kÊ·: so *perkÊ·unia > *perkunia > *fercunia; note that there is no u after kÊ· in *kÊ·erkÊ·ern-. They are all related——to the Germanic branch maybe borrowed from Pre-Celtic *percunia, that is to say : Gothic fairgunni "mountain (covered with oaks)", Anglo-Saxon firgen- "mountain wood", Old High German Fergunna, Virgundia waldus, etc.
  • French place names derived from the forms Perciacum, Percoialum, Percunia, Percetum, Erciacum, etc.
