Sequana

Latin Etymology Of la cel - origin, the river name is from la cel-gau - Sequana, a water goddess later incorporated into Gallo-Roman culture. The name's origin is uncertain, but possibly from la ine-pro *seykʷ- to pour, spill, trickle.893-94 However, since Gaulish was largely a P-Celtic language, the q may not represent Indo-European -kʷ- but rather an original form like cel-pro *Sek-ooana-. Therefore, the Gaulish name could be from a pre-Celtic hydronym.Pierre-Yves Lambert, La langue gauloise, éditions Errance 1994, p. 131.
