The name "Annerish" is derived simply from a combination of the endonym ''[[Contionary:Annr#Anrish|Annr]]'', whose origin is disputed, + -ish in English. Similarly, the native term for "the Anneries" - ''ın Annray'' derives from a compound with Old Norse [[:wikt:ey#Old_Norse|ey]], translating to "the Annerish islands".<br> | The name "Annerish" is derived simply from a combination of the endonym ''[[Contionary:Annr#Anrish|Annr]]'', whose origin is disputed, + -ish in English.

A leading native theory connects the ethnonym with the goddess [[w:Andarta|Annarth]], mentioned in the "Gospel of Evynn" (''Lebor Ebuınne'') as the matron of the [[w:Iceni|Eıchenna]], whose queen and chief priestess was [[w:Boudica|Bóıdech]]. Still, many theologians consider the text itself failing to point out a connection as deffinitive proof against this theory. Instead, the native theonym ''{{cd|Aınnr}}'' is regarded as the true origin of ''Annr''.<br> Bernthaler (1907), the main foreign scholar on the Annerish, supports both propositions and argues that the dental ending in the dative (''Aınnrte'') must trace back to the former theonym, but the root itself is one and the same as [[:wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Celtic/anderā|*anderā]]. | A leading native theory connects the ethnonym with the goddess [[w:Andarta|Annarth]], mentioned in the "Gospel of Evynn" (''Lebor Ebuınne'') as the matron of the [[w:Iceni|Eıchenna]], whose queen and chief priestess was [[w:Boudica|Bóıdech]].
