Cambusnethan
Cambusnethan is a large village and suburb on the eastern edge of Wishaw, North Lanarkshire in Scotland. It is approximately long, straddling both sides of the A722 on a hill overlooking Wishaw. Etymology The name "''Cambusnethan"'' was historically recorded as ''Kamnethan'' and in earlier sources, as ''Kamysnethyn''. The establishment of an early medieval church of the same name suggests that the name is Celtic in origin. The "Cambus" part of the name would come from "''caman''/''camas''/''camn''" a word that could be either Gaelic or Cumbric and means a bend or meander. "Nethan" is harder to pinpoint. It could come from a corruption of Ninian, who travelled through southern Scotland, it could also be said to come from Nechtan, the name of both a Pictish king and a mythological Celtic figure. Or possibly, Neithon of Alt Clut, a king of Strathclyde, the kingdom that held the land for centuries. Thus the name likely means "bend of Nethan". History Originally, the name ...
