Derivation of the name

[edit]

It seems likely that the name Oise derives from the same root as the English rivers named Ouse, see Ouse (disambiguation). The River Great Ouse article says:

  • "The name Ouse is from the Celtic or pre-Celtic *Udso-s, and probably means simply "water" or slow flowing river."

Can we find a source to confirms that 'Oise' derives from the same root? Verbcatcher (talk) 19:31, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
