Etymologie (Engels)

There seems to be 2 hypothesis both concerning water.
1) Gand comes the name of a Gallo-Roman vicus called Ganda, a Celtic word that meant confluant.
2) Gand comes from the Celtic word that had a relation with water, Gond.
That name Gond was transformed by the Frankish to Gand.
