I just tossed sweden out as a quick reference

Cimbric Morimarusam
Cambric Mori maro
Welsh Mory'marw

Why a p-Celt place name?
Maybe the same reason
the Cimbric and Teutonic chief's
personal names are Celt?
Like--

Boio-rix-------Irish---Boyne---river goddess-Gallic-rix----king

Bur-cana-------Welsh---Buro----bellow--------Welsh--cana---sing

Gaeso-rix------Celt----Gassavo-excellent-----Gallic-rix----king

Lug-ius--------Gallic--Lug-----light god

Teuto-bodu-ius-Gallic--Teuto---people--------Gallic--Bodv--war goddess

Tast-ris-------Welsh---Dasti---heap----------Welsh---ris---to tell


I still think Metuonidis is a Latin name
Possibly a form of metuo-nidi
meaning
nest of fear

maybe its a reference to the
piratical culture of the western Baltic in 1st century?
What piratical culture?

From STRABO GEOGRAPHY

BOOK 7

[Chapter 2]
peri de Kimbrôn ta men ouk eu legetai, ta d' echei
pithanotêtas ou metrias. oute gar tên toiautên
aitian tou planêtas genesthai kai lêistrikous

Rendering
On one hand [some information] about the Kimbron, is not well
validated, while other [reports] are more convincing, although not
without limit. Unacceptable is the explanation [that] some attribute
the origin of their wandering and piratical nature.

Then theres the story about the great wave that forced the Cimbri to
move that Strabo wont believe.
