Etymology
cy; first attested as cy owl Guoy. The element cy -wy is found in other river names such as en Monnow, en Medway, and en Conwy. A borrowing from a Pre-Celtic cy qfa-sub - language cannot be ruled out, as cy gwy does not match any obvious nouns in Welsh.Archaeologia Cambrensis. (1911). United Kingdom: W. Pickering, p. 164
