There is also a theory that the Arun may have been known as the Trisantonis in its lower reaches close to the sea, but known as the Arnus (from the Brythonic 'Arno' meaning run or flow). So the Arnus would mean 'the flowing one'. It is possible that the town of Arundel may mean Arno-dell, or dell of the flowing river.[1] In the middle ages the river was known as the Tarrant,[2] evidenced by Tarrant Street in modern Arundel, later becoming known as the Arun after the town or the Rape of Arundel[citation needed]." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Arun It may be that the Indian and English usages are just a cross-lingual coincidence.
