A. Navio : 

* Rivet & Smith, The Place-names of roman Britain, p. 423 : 

SOURCES

- Inscription : RIB 2243, a milestone from Buxton, nearly 11 Roman miles south-west of Brough-on-Noe; the last words are A NAVIONE M P XI 'from Navio 11miles'

- Ravenna 106₅₆, (= R&C 56) : NAVIONE, var. NANIONE

DERIVATION. From the ablative of the inscription and from Ravenna's oblique case we can deduce a notional third-declension nominative Navio, without knowing if it had real currency. Williams adopts as a root (now Pokorny 971) *sna- 'to flow' ; from a British derivative come Welsh nawf, nofio 'swim', and cognates include Latin no, nare. Two Continental rivers provide analogues : Nava > Nahe near Bingen (Germany: Whatmough DAG 1224) and Navia > Navia in N. Spain. The British river name *Nav- 'fast-flowing water' (> Noe) has the derivational sufix *-io for the fort ont its banks. 

IDENTIFICATION. The roman fort at Brough-on-Noe (Derbyshire (SK 3527).

-----------

Explication, selon ces auteurs : une racine *sna- : couler, pour désigner ici une rivière au cours rapide, et par extension, le fort romain bâti à son côté.

Observation JCE : voir cependant les toponymes en La Nouée, désignant, globalement, des terrains inondables près des cours d'eau.

* E. Ekwall : "Noue a 1300 AD. A British river related to NAAB (olim Naha) and NAHE (Nava Tacitus, Nawa ) in Germany and derived from the root snau- 'to flow' found in Gk nao 'to swim', &.   Cf. also NADDER. From the river-name is derived the old name of Brough Db (Nautione (abl.) 6 Rav.)
