Gournay-en-Bray

== English == === Etymology === From French, attested as Old French Gornai in 1049. The first element is probably of Celtic origin, from Proto-Celtic *gorn (“fishery, reach”) + *-ako, Latinized as Latin -acum. The second element was added in 1962 to avoid confusion with Gournay-le-Guérin in the department of Eure. It references Pays de Bray and is of Celtic/Gaulish origin, from *braco, for which see braye (“mud, daub”). === Proper noun === Gournay-en-Bray A commune in Seine-Maritime department, Normandy, France. === References === Adigard des Gautries - Les noms de lieux de la Seine-Maritime attestés entre 911 et 1066 (suite), page 149 Pierre-Yves Lambert, La Langue gauloise, éditions Errance, 1994.
