# Engadin

> English word · Proper noun

## Definitions
1. A long valley in the Swiss Alps located in the Graubünden canton in southeast Switzerland.

## Etymology
Borrowed from Romansh Engiadina, which is first attested in 930 CE as Medieval Latin Vallis Eniatina. The toponym can perhaps be explained as a derivation from a reconstructed ethnonym *Eniates (“settlers on the Inn” (see Latin Aenus), with a Celtic suffix -ates for “settlers, inhabitants”; cf. Licātēs, Atrebatēs).
