Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Romansch Engiadina, which is first attested in AD 930 as Medieval Latin Vallis Eniatina. The toponym can perhaps be explained as a derivation from a reconstructed ethnonym *Eniates ("settlers on the Inn" (see Latin Aenus), with a Celtic suffix -ates for "settlers, inhabitants"; cf. Licātēs, Atrebatēs[1]).
Proper noun[edit]
Engadin
- A long valley in the Swiss Alps located in the canton of Grisons/Graubünden in southeast Switzerland.
