Is Canvey Island a Roman name?

No. it is an Anglo-Saxon name. The Roman geographer, Ptolemy, did mention an island called Convennon within the region of the mouth of the Thames below Essex. However there is no evidence that this was Canvey Island. The name was given by the Anglo-Saxons. There are firm records that the Anglo-Saxons called the island "Caningaege". Which means "The Island of Cana's People". In 1254 after a huge change in the language, "Caningaege" would now be spelt as "Caneveye" in the official records. Eventually the name evolved again into "Canvey".
