Cale | at the mouth of the Durius in Callaecia, station on the Roman road from Olisipo to Bracara (Itin. Ant. 421, 8 Calem)…The root of the word is probably of Iberian origin, cf. Caladunum, Calagurris, Calecula, Callaeci etc., although also common in Celtic areas. | kalı | place of residence | |
Calecula | City in Hispania citerior, near Iliberris, as the remains and inscriptions discovered at the farmstead of Daragoleja not far from Pinos Puente show (CIL II p. 881).

Carraca | (Κάρρακα), place in the part of northern Italy west of Venetia, Ptol. III 1, 32 p. 340 M., near the Anauni (Val. di Non); Mueller z. d.

Κατάνη), one of the famous legislators of antiquity, who is usually mentioned alongside Lycurgus, Solon, Zaleukos and others (Cic. de leg. I 57.

Chera | (Χήρα), epiclesis of Hera in Stymphalos, where Hera, according to her ancient natural significance, was worshipped in the phases of spring, summer and winter as a virgin, wife and widow (Παῖς or Παρθένος, Pind. Ol. VI 88 – Τελεία – Χήρα). The name Ch. was then interpreted as referring to the time when she withdrew to Stymphalos alone after a dispute with Zeus, Paus. VIII 22, 2; cf. Preller Griech. Myth.⁴ I 166. Immerwahr Kulte u. Mythen Arkadiens 33f. | kır | girl | R. S. P. Beekes has suggested a Pre-Greekorigin |

Chorsos | River on the Colchian coast north of the Arios (see Charieis), Skyl. 81; corrupted from Chobos (see d.); the present-day place Chorgo near the mouth of the Khopis-c̣qari could also allow the spelling Chorgos. | su | water | |

Cirpi | Station of the Danube riverside road (Itin. Ant. 266, 11 Cirpi mansio) and important castle in Pannonia inferior | kirpi | hedgehog | |
Citania | Place in Hispanic Callaecia. In the valley of the river Ave, south of Bracara, on the left bank, opposite the Roman baths of Vizella, on the foothills of the Serra de Falperra, there are a number of pre-Roman settlements, one of which bears the name C., which is also used in northern Portugal for old abandoned towns (CIL II 896, where the literature is recorded). Remains of walls, streets, houses, a number of short Latin inscriptions, as well as numerous pottery shards, prove that the place was inhabited in Roman times. The name cannot, as was erroneously assumed, have come from the Latin civitas, but probably contains the mutilation of an old name, such as Igaeditani becoming Idanha, and similar. The place offers a good example of the pre-Roman settlements of the native tribes, which were not uncommon in those regions but were still inhabited in Roman times (cf. Hermes XV 1880, 49ff. 597ff.). | Kitan | North-Asian nomad people (probably a Türk-Mongolian) | |
Citicius | a personal name | kıtık | cotton | |

Peut.), tributary of the Ollius (Oglio), rises on the Adamello, flows through the lake of Idro and the Vallis Sabina (Val Sabbia) and, after a course of 140 km., flows into the Ollius opposite Betriacum. It is wrongly identified with the Clusius, s.d. | su | water | |
Cobandi | (Κοβανδοί), people in Germania Magna on the Cimbrian peninsula (Ptolem. II 11, 7). Zeuss Die Deutschen 151f. identifies them with the Aviones (= Chaibones). In contrast, C. Müller edition of Ptol. I 1, 257. Cf. Much Deutsche Stammsitze 200. | Kuman | A Türkic tribe | Kuman~Kuban ; btw there is no convincing etymology for that name |

Coduzabala | Place in Cappadocia, between Arasaxa and Komana Cappadociae, Itin. Ant. 180. 181. 210. 213, by Ramsay Asia Minor | kuduz oba? | koduz/kuduz: crazy; oba: dwelling place, +li suffix: with | kotuz: yak bull, koduz kotuz maybe the tugh (flag) of the chieftain |
Coldas | a people in Scythia subjugated by Ermaneric, Iord. Get. 28. | koldaş | People who do something together, good friend, buddy | they who fight together, they who help each other while fighting, >military partner |
Comani | 2) According to Ptol. II 10, 5 (var. Κομμωνῶν and similar) people on the coast of Gallia Narbonensis, to whom he gives a fairly large area, since he counts the cities of Massalia, Tauroentum, Olbia and Forum Iulii as belonging to him, while Strab. IV 180 Ταυροέντιον, Ὀλβία, Ἀντίπολις and Νίκαια are among the Salluvii. Plin. n.h. III 36 names Comani (var. comanni, cumani, comaci) among the oppida Latina. The pernae comatinae or comacinae in Varro de R. seem to be named after this people. r. II 4, 10 (see the commentary by H. Keil). Compare the Massaliotic legend of Comanus, the son of Nannus, king of the Segobrigii, in Justin. XLIII 4, 3. Desjardins Géogr. de la Gaule II 71 (who holds on to the name Commoni, = communes?). C. Müller on Ptolem. a. O. Holder Altkelt. Sprachschatz see Comani and Comanos (also Comoni). | kamu | together, all, whole | |
Comaralis | on the road between Sebasteia and Caesarea, Tab. Peut. X 4 (Miller), according to Ramsay Asia Minor 288 | kum-ara-li | kum: sand, ara: place between, +li: with | Şuğul Vadisi in modern Sivas: The valley floor consists of sandy soil with a loose granular structure. |
Comidava | a Dacian place which, as its mention in Ptolem. III 8, 8 Κομίδαυα proves, has survived into Roman times (J. Jung Römer und Romanen in den Donauländer² 114). | kum: sand | oba: dwelling place | |
Comosicus | King and high priest of the Dacians, successor of Decaeneus, who had lived in the times of Augustus and Tiberius (cf. Strab. VII 304. 298. XVI 762), Iord. Get. I 73. | kamaş- | to dazzle | kam: shaman; I have already written a blog about that name; |
Condaca | Station in Armenia, etwa südlich vom Van-See, Geogr. Rav. p. 63, 18; vgl. Kandak ‚Graben, Canal‘ in Sakastane; armen kntak, kndak [841] bedeutet ‚kahle Stelle‘, neupers. chwandah ‚ridens, amoenus‘. | kundak | to swaddle, swadlleclothes | maybe better konduk: settlement |
Congrae | et Reitae, two peoples of the Scythian region north of Tyras or Danaster, Geogr. Rav. p. 114, 16; the same records p. 178, 8 the station Congri (see above) next to the Dacian Porolissum. In that region the Germanic Bastarnai lived mixed with Celtic tribes; the sounds con-gra and con-ger give the impression of Celtic formations; cf. Celtic gera, ger- 'to venerate, to love', thus C. 'friends, companions'. The Reitae, on the other hand, are more likely to be interpreted as Germanic or Gothic Hraitha, according to R. Much (Ztschr. f. deutsches Altertum 1895) something like 'the chosen ones'; cf. Ags. Hréđas, Hréđ-gotan, anord. Hreiđ-gotar; According to the Hervara saga, during the Hun period, Danpar-stađir, Dnépr-stadt = Kijew, was the main castle of Reiđgotaland, which extended as far as the Carpathians or the ‘Khorvatic rocks’ Harvađa-fjöll; the Reitae cannot possibly be interpreted using Hunno-Turkish language, but this would be more likely with Congrae. | kongur | red-brown, dark brown | Pauly admits that the name of the Congrae could be explained by Hun-Türk language. |
Corduba/Cordoba | a city in Iberia | oba | dwelling place | kurt: worm |
Corubantiki | d. i. Κορυβαντική, a region or city of Asia, uncertain whether in India or in Ariana; Geogr. Rav. p. 41, 11. Ὀρθοκορυβάντιοι is known to Herodotus. III 92 besides Parikanioi; kauruvañṭ may have meant 'black, dark', which may recall the straight-haired Aithiopes of Herodotus, the ancestors of the Brâhûik. | Koru: to protect; protected area | bant-: to tie | in the explanations of Pauly we read Ortokorubants, too. Orto means the middle. Further we read in the explanation the Parikans and I showed that all these 3 names could have a Türkic origin/etymology. |
Corucara (Korukala?) | Port on the western coast of the Near East, Geogr. Rav. p. 42, 18; cf. Dravidian koḍu, koru 'horn', kara 'coast'. Ptolemy's Κορούγκαλα was in the area of the Maisoloi, roughly the present-day Woraṅkal in Telinga. | Koru: to protect; protected area | kala: place to dwell | |
Corynaeus 2x | Companions of Aeneas | Koru-: to protect; protected area > korun-: hide, conceal | ay: moon | Korunay would be compatible with Türkic onomastics. I have shown often that ae/ai in Ancient Greek names are originally Türkic word ay, meaning moon. Türkish names with AY are very common in the history and in modern Türkiye |
Coryphanta | ancient city of Bithynia, Plin. n. h. V 148 | Koru-: to protect; protected area | ||
Dea Coryphea | Epithet of the Carthaginian goddess Caelestis after a sacred altar from the late antique fortress of Vel. Malence at Rann a. S. (Saria Glasnik Muz. Društva za Slov. XIV 1933, 22f. = CIL III Suppl. Yugoslav. 248): Deae Corypheae | sive Caelesti Aug(ustae) | M. Aur. Alexander[er] | b(ene)f(iciarius) etc. etc. | koru-: to protect | ||
Cosaba | Place in Arabia felix; Geogr. Rav. p. 56 P. | oba | dwelling place | |
Cossinus | Roman knight, friend of the Emperor Nero. When he fell ill, the emperor summoned a doctor from Egypt, who, out of ignorance, poisoned him, Plin. n. h. XXIX 93. | koşun: soldier, army (possibly of Mongolian origin) | kurşun: lead, bullet | compare Cosingas: A Thracian chieftain. I have already shown the Türkic origin of this name |
Cotiso | Dacian king who, during the civil war between Octavian and Antonius, invaded the Danube (Flor. II 28), but was defeated (Hor. carm. III 8, 18). | kotuz | yak bull | there are many KOTUZ in the Türkic history. Kotuz was the Mameluke Türk commander who stopped the Mongols in Ayn-Jalut |
Cotus | an Aedui (a Celtic tribe) from a very noble and respected family | kotuz | yak bull | |
Cunobelinus | British king at the time of the Emperor Gaius. Only Suet. Cal. 44 and Oros. VII 5, 5 from the Roman and Dio LX 20f. from the Greek authors report about him; however, a large number of his coins are known. | kün-belen | bright mountain | Tasciovanus/Caratacus. I have written a blog about these 3 names proving their Türkic origins |
Cusus | tributary of the Danube on the north side | su | water | |
