Etymology 2Edit
A confluence of multiple different etymologies. Partly from the mythological name (see etymology 1), partly from Proto-Norse [Term?] (“wealth, property”) (as the name of a mythical warrior) and partly from the Middle Low German given name Ahti, which in turn is ultimately from Ancient Greek αὐτόνομος (autónomos). The Russian name Автоном (Avtonom) (from the same Ancient Greek source) may be a fourth source (at least in eastern Finland).[1]
