Editing Goibniu (section)

==Etymology==
The name ''Goibniu'' stems from a [[Proto-Celtic]] form reconstructed as *''Gobeniū'' or *''Gobanniō'', which is derived from the stem *''goben''-, meaning 'smith' (cf. [[Old Irish]] ''gobae'', [[Middle Welsh]] ''gof,'' [[Middle Breton]] ''gof(f)'', [[Old Cornish]] ''gof'' 'smith'; cf. also [[Gaulish]] ''gobedbi'' 'with the smiths' < *''goben-bi'' or *''gob-et''-''bi-''). The same stem can be found in the Gaulish deity ''[[Gobannus|Deo Cobanno]]'' (< *''Gobannos''), and in ''[[Govannon]]'' (< *''Gobannonos''), the son of the goddess [[Dôn]] in [[Welsh mythology]], which may suggest a common origin of the name in Proto-Celtic legends. It is also attested in various personal names, such as the Gaulish ''Gobannitio'', ''Gobannicnus'', or ''Gobano'', the Old Irish [[Saint Gobain|''Gobain'']] (Lat. ''Gobanus''), the [[Old Breton]] ''Ran Gof'', as well as in the toponyms ''[[Gobannium]]'' (now [[Abergavenny]]) and ''Sanctus Gobanus'' ([[Saint-Gobain, Aisne|Saint-Gobain]]).{{Sfn|Delamarre|2003|p=182}}''{{sfn|Matasović|2009|p=164}}{{Sfn|Blažek|2008|pp=67–68}}''

A [[Proto-Indo-European]] (PIE) origin of the stem *''goben''- is controversial, and some scholars have proposed that it is restricted to Celtic.{{Sfn|Delamarre|2003|p=182}}{{sfn|Matasović|2009|p=164}} It could be connected to Latin ''faber'' ('craftsman'), via  PIE *''g<sup>(w)h</sup>ob<sup>h</sup>''-, although the former is generally derived from *''d<sup>h</sup>Hb<sup>h</sup>-ro-'' (cf. Armenian ''darbin'').{{sfn|Matasović|2009|p=164}} [[Patrizia de Bernardo Stempel]] has also proposed to derive it from PIE *''g(h)eubh''- ('curve, bend'), because bronze was melted and hamered, contrary to iron that was hamered and bended,{{Sfn|Delamarre|2003|p=182}} and [[Václav Blažek]] has suggested a relation with the [[Lithuanian language|Lithuanian]] goddess of fire ''[[Gabija]]''.''{{Sfn|Blažek|2008|p=79}}''
