What is the Language origin of the name Betony?

The name Betony is an unusual name of English origin. It originates from a plant of the same name, Stachys officinalis of the Lamiaceae-Labiatae, or mint, family. The herb's English name, Betony, was derived from the Latin name, Vetonica according to the first-century Roman scholar, Pliny. Vetonica refers to a people from the Iberian Peninsula, called the Vettones, and this may also be the basis of its original botanical name, Betonica officinalis. However, modern scholars claim that the word is derived from a primitive Celtic form of bew (head) and ton (good), because of the plant's historical use for complaints in the head. The leaves, flowers, and roots of the plant have been used throughout antiquity as remedies for easing headaches, especially those related to nervous tension, anxiety and debility, facilitating digestion, relieving gastritis, heartburn and gas, purifying the blood, improving liver, gallbladder and spleen health, protecting against evil spirits, and a continuous host of other maladies.
