Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *ensel?, of uncertain origin. The resemblance to Ancient Greek ????? (nêsos, “island”) and Proto-Celtic *enist? (“island”) (whence Breton enez, Irish inis and Welsh ynys) appears to be accidental.

Pokorny (1959) tentatively connects it to salum (“the sea”): he posits ellipsis from terra in sal? (“land in the sea”) to in (“in”) + sal?, invoking the similar Ancient Greek word ?????? (énalos, “maritime”).
