River Lune
The River Lune (archaically sometimes Loyne) is a river in length in Cumbria and Lancashire, England. Etymology Several elucidations for the origin of the name ''Lune'' exist. Firstly, it may be that the name is Brittonic in genesis and derived from ''*lǭn'' meaning "full, abundant", or "healthy, pure" (c.f. Old Irish ''slán'', Welsh ''llawn''). Secondly, ''Lune'' may represent Old English ''Ēa Lōn'' (''ēa'' = "river") as a phonetic adaptation of a Romano-British name referring to a Romano-British god Ialonus who was worshipped in the area. Springs The river begins as a stream at Newbiggin, in the parish of Ravenstonedale, Cumbria, at St. Helen's Well (elevation of above sea level) and some neighbouring springs.
