This book, a critical examination of Abbà Devaux's etymology of Lyon's name, is part of a longstanding debate over whether the city was named after a raven, as Devaux suggests, or a Celtic god. The author provides an overview of the history of Lyon and its name, discussing the various theories that have been proposed over the centuries and engaging with the linguistic and archaeological evidence that supports each one. The author ultimately argues that the name Lyon is probably derived from the Celtic god Lugus, who was associated with arts, commerce, and the sun. This book will be of interest to scholars of Celtic studies, linguistics, and the history of Lyon.
