köken: There seems to be 2 hypothesis both concerning water. 1) Gand comes the name of a Gallo-Roman vicus called Ganda, a Celtic word that meant confluant. 2) Gand comes from the Celtic word that had a relation with water, Gond. That name Gond was transformed by the Frankish to Gand.
köken: From Old Occitan, from Old French guant, from Frankish *want, from Proto-Germanic *wantuz (“glove, mitten”), from Proto-Indo-European *wondʰnú- (“glove”), from the root *wendʰ- (“to wind, wrap”). Cognates include French gant, Catalan guant, Sicilian nguanta and Spanish guante.
