General notesThere are two homonymous Gaulish name elements *gnato- (GPN 207): 1. 'born' (cf. OInd. jātá-, OLat. gnātus, ), 2. 'known' (cf. OIr. gnáth, Lat. notus); in combination with prefix ate-, most scholars opt for the first possibility; the name Ategnata thus means 're-born'; cf. Ir. aithgnath.
