Lake, in my words

lonn : lake

The Fennas word for lake is lonn. Lonn is an unusual masculine first name. Lonn (and Lönn) is an unusual last name.

How did I come up with this word? The Welsh word for lake is llyn, the Irish word for lake is loch, the Breton word for lake is lenn, and the Cornish word for lake is lynn. All are very similar. In addition, the Scottish Gaelic word for lake is loch (same as Irish), and the Manx word for lake is logh.
