All I can find are

Devon


Originally 'Defnas'. The word shire was added and has subsequently been lost. Defnas is derived from the Celtic tribal name Dumnonii, which is of unknown origin. The Welsh name for Devon is Dyfnaint and the Cornish name is Dewnans.


Essex


Literally 'East Saxons'. The county was the former petty Kingdom of the East Saxons.
