Etymology: Possibly Pre-Greek. Claimed by ancient writers to derive from Καστανέα (Kastanéa), a location in Magnesia, Thessalia, but the location itself is most likely named after the tree. Potentially from Doric Greek κάστον (káston, “wood”). Compare also with Old Armenian կասկ (kask) and Albanian thanë (from Proto-Albanian *tsàna).
