- Ravenna 10920 : DOROECLA; variante DAROEDA.

DERIVATION. Ravenna's variant was adopted by R&C as their main form, and gives hope of emendation. For this R&C propose *Daruveda, arguing a miscopying of letters in Greek at some stage; but this is hardly necessary in view of Ravenna's frequent o/u confusions (either scribal or in Vulgar Latin pronunciation) and occasional omission of -v-, as in Segloes for *Selgoves. The root is then British *daru- *deru- 'oak', in Gaulish *deruo- (giving some names in *dru-; Druidae is related) from Indo-European *dereu- (Greek drus 'oak'; also English tree, etc.) ; cf. Welsh derw, Breton derv, Cornish derow. For its appearance in many simple and compound names, see Holder I. 1270. Of note are the British Derventio names, and abroad Derva in Pannonia (Ravenna 5728) and Derventum > Drevant (Cher, France). Of great interest is A. Carnoy, 'Le Chêne dans la toponymie et la linguistique', RIO, X (1958), 81-101. The second element is probably -veda, one of the possibilities mentioned under Coccuveda, here 'slope' rather than 'appearance' : hence 'oak-slope (island) ' ?

IDENTIFICATION. Unknown, but apparently an island off Scotland.
