Derivation of the name

It seems likely that the name Oise derives from the same root as the English rivers named Ouse, see Ouse (disambiguation). The River Great Ouse article says:

  • "The name Ouse is from the Celtic or pre-Celtic *Udso-s, and probably means simply "water" or slow flowing river."

Can we find a source to confirms that 'Oise' derives from the same root? Verbcatcher (talk) 19:31, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
