History
From the Latin Aetna, perhaps via the Italian Etna. From either Ancient Greek Αἴτνη (Aítnē, “Aetna”) or αἴθω (aíthō, “to burn”), or from a Sicanian dialect Italic base *aið-na (“fiery one”), all from Proto-Indo-European *h2eydh- (“burn; fire”). Doublet of Aetna.
From the Norwegian Etna.
Possibly an anglicisation of Irish Eithne.
After Mount Etna in Sicily.
