⇒ Classical Gaelic: Magh Conchinn, Magh gCoinchinn, Magh cCoinchinne

From Primitive Irish ᚉᚒᚅᚐᚉᚓᚅᚐ (cunacena, nom. sg.) of uncertain gender, masculine form also attested in ᚉᚒᚅᚐᚉᚓᚅᚅᚔ (cunacenni, gen. sg.). The first element can be definitely identified as ancestral to cú (“dog”), from Proto-Celtic *kū, combining form *kuno-.
However, it is difficult to trace the origin of the second element of the name, owing to two possibilities existing:
* If related to the Gaulish name recorded as Latin Cunopennus as Matasović and many others before him do, the second element would be *kʷennom (“head”), making the whole name mean "dog-head".
* If one follows McManus in relating this name to Old Welsh Concenn (name of the last king of Powys), also rendered as Middle Welsh Cyngen, the second element can be nothing else but *kennos (“skin”). This would make the name mean overall "dog-skin".
