Divonna draws on the Gaulish theonym Divona, name of a sacred spring venerated in Aquitania (notably at Bordeaux and Cahors). The word traces to Proto-Celtic deiwo- ‘divine’ plus the feminine -ona, a suffix common in water-goddess names, yielding the sense ‘divine spring’ or ‘sacred fountain’. Latin inscriptions preserve Divona in cultic and place-name use, giving the name a deep Celtic pedigree.
