I checked the book - it's an interesting one, indeed.
Just a word of caution: In 1843, the year this book was published, linguistics and the study of etymologies were still rather young sciences. Maybe the similarity with a Greek word for "dweller" is pure coincidence.
Funny anyway that the name should mean simply "dweller", not "dweller of place (x)" or "citizen of city (y)" or similar.
