==Etymology== The modern name derives from the ancient [[Cumbric]] ''Peartoc'' (as in the modern [[Welsh language|Welsh]] word ''perth'', meaning "bush or thicket").<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.govanremgroup.org.uk/history/in_the_name_o_govan.php |title=''In the Name o' Govan'' |access-date=2 September 2023 |archive-date=7 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231207230303/http://www.govanremgroup.org.uk/history/in_the_name_o_govan.php |url-status=live }}</ref> This was adopted into [[Scottish Gaelic]] as ''Peart(h)aig'', giving modern Gaelic ''Pearraig'' or ''Partaig'' (the latter is used on signs at [[Partick railway station]]). Older anglicised forms include ''Perdyc'' and ''Perthick''.
