Etymology
From Old Irish sant, of uncertain origin; cognate with Manx saynt and Irish saint. Possibly borrowed from Proto-Brythonic *hwant (the source of Welsh chwant (“desire”)),[1] from Proto-Celtic *swantos, provided the borrowing happened before *s became *h in Brythonic but after *ant became *ēdd in Goidelic, as the inherited Old Irish descendant of *swantos is sét (whence seud (“jewel”)). Against this hypothesis is the fact that Old Irish sét and Welsh chwant are masculine, while Old Irish sant and its descendants are feminine.
