The [[Gaulish]] [[ethnonym]] ''Carnutes'' literally means 'the horned ones', probably in reference to their combat helmets.{{sfn|Lambert|1994|p=34}}{{sfn|Delamarre|2003|p=106}} It stems from the [[Gaulish language|Gaulish]] root ''carno-'' ('horn'), itself from [[Proto-Celtic language|Proto-Celtic]] *''karno-'' ('horn, hoof'; cf. [[Middle Welsh]] ''carn'' 'hoof').{{sfn|Matasović|2009|p=190}} The name ''Carnutes'' is linguistically related to the [[Brittonic languages|Brittonic]] ''*Kornouii'' and the [[Welsh language|Welsh]] ''Kernyw'', designating the [[Cornwall]] region.{{sfn|Lambert|1994|p=34}}

The city of [[Chartres]], attested ca. 400 as ''Carnotum'' (''Carnotis'' ca. 650, ''Cartis'' in 930), is named after the Gallic tribe.{{sfn|Nègre|1990|p=153}}
