Gaul: Flowing
Icauna is a goddess known from an inscription found at Auxerre, Yonne, France (CIL III 02921). She is the patronness of the Yonne River (which derives its name from her) and the Departement in which the river is situated.
Incauna's name is probably derived from the proto-Celtic root iskā- (water) and the proto-Indo-European -onn- verb-forming suffix and the feminine word-ending -a giving us a verb formed out of the noun 'river' which might be interpreted as 'flowing'.
