~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The name "Garonne" comes from Latin Garumna, which is a very rude word the transcription of the native name of the river in Antiquity. This native name derives from the Aquitanian (language related to old Basque) word kar, meaning "rock", akin to old Basque karri (modern Basque harri, "stone"), and from a Celtic (or more probably Pre-Indo-European) suffix -onna which means "source, river", and which can be found in the name of many rivers of western Europe (such as the Seine, the Sa?ne, or the Dordogne).
