Particularly: “According to w:it:Gandino#Dalla preistoria ai Galli, “In primo luogo il nome stesso del paese deriverebbe dalla chiara matrice celtica Gand-, indicante un territorio ripido, sassoso e franoso (luogo probabilmente identificabile con il ghiaione della località Groaro), e presente in numerosi altri toponimi della provincia di Bergamo quali Gandellino, Gandosso e Ganda.” [machine-translated: “First of all, the very name of the country would derive from the clear Celtic matrix Gand-, indicating a steep, shredded and landslide territory (place probably identifiable with the scree of the Groaro locality), and present in numerous other place names in the province of Bergamo such as Gandellino, Gandosso and Ganda.”] (citing Umberto Zanetti, Paesi e luoghi di Bergamo. Note di etimologia di oltre 1.000 toponimi [The countries and places of Bergamo. Notes of etymology of over 1,000 toponyms], Bergamo, 1985, page 121).
