If memory serves, this is actually a case where the simple explanation is a bit different -- "Etaoin" is a variant spellynge for "Edain" (or the other way round, perhaps).
I don't *understand* lenition / related variations in rendering Irish and other Gaelic across the gulf of years, but after a bit of exposure I retain a little bit of knowledge. As usual, a dangerous thing...
Adieu, Amra / ttfn - Mike / Pax ... Kihe

"Etaoin" comprises the six most common letters in English, in order of relative frequency. I suspect it's just a made-up name.

Katharine, on Laurel's web page.
Etaoin, I can only find a reference to a Legendary Old Irish Heroine.
Possible presumptuous?
