Etymology edit

'Keota' is an Indian word meaning "Gone to visit" or "The fire goes out"

I am always suspicious of these vague etymologies. Not only is the particular Indian language not specified (always a red flag, since anyone can make up anything and say its derived from something in 'Indian'), but the two meanings are pretty different from each other. In order to determine which one is right, we would at least need to know which language the name is from. If we don't know which language it's from, how is anyone even able to speculate about its meaning? Beorhtwulf (talk) 22:21, 23 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have removed this unsourced stuff about etymology. Beorhtwulf (talk) 14:34, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
