Cugnon is a village of Wallonia and a district of the municipality of Bertrix, located in the province of Luxembourg, Belgium.

Contents

History

It was a municipality in its own right before a merger in 1977. Cugnon merged under the French regime with Auby-sur-Semois  [ fr ], Géripont and Mortehan. It was separated from Auby-sur-Semois on 30 July 1899 and in 1964 annexed the hamlet of Thibauroche, detached from Muno.

Etymology

Cugnon comes from the following:

Chez (Latin casae “at home” = French chez) Congidunus (Celtic surname, cf. the Breton king Cogidunus cited by Tacitus in Agricola, or the Gallic Conconnetodunnus, cited by L. Roger; this name contains the Gallic duno “pregnant” and the Celtic adjective connios “clever, end”). [1] [2]
