[Surname] Gariennus
Could this be from the Celtic Gario meaning to shout? (cognate with the Latin garrio)or Gara/ Goro meaning strips of landor Garen meaning crane or heron?Possible old Greek connectionAny thoughts welcome?

Some interesting arguments are provided at tinyurl.com/m2gmtr6 for 'crane, heron' as the origin of the river name Yare, i.e., Gariennus.
