Etymology

Usually connected to the Italian Apennines, originally borrowed from Latin Apenninus by Latin scribes and subsequently losing its initial A by rebracketing or aphesis. Alternatively, possibly derived directly from a Celtic language; by surface analysis, Proto-Brythonic *penn (“(hill) top, head”) plus -ine.
