[EN] The Medieval toponym Arlempde (1325) and other undiscovered derivatives from Gaulish nemeto- in the civitas Arvernorum (Clerlande ; Lempdes, Lindes).Recorded in 1325, the place name Arlempde (Auvergne, Puy-de-Dôme) is to be added to the series of toponyms located in the south-eastern Massif central, which derive from the Gaulish stem *arenemeto-. The etymology suggested here, “nonsacred place in front of a sacred place”, should be considered in light of the archaeological evidence related to sites whose name falls into the type Arlempde(s). The same applies to the other sites whose name derives from the simple noun *nemeto- (Lempdes, Lindes) or from the composite noun *klāronemeto- (Clerlande). Arlempde in Auvergne probably refers to the sanctuary of Les Grosmeniers (municipality of La Sauvetat), which is closely linked to the major, upper site of Corent.
