  • In this video, we'll explore the history of the Celts and how they got their name.
    Did you know that the Celts got their name from the ancient Greeks? The Greeks called the Celts “ Keltoi” which means “except the people ofkelta”. The Keltoi were a people who lived in present-day Scotland and Ireland. So where did the Celtic people come from? And where do they live now? Tune in to learn more in this video!

    In reality the word "Keltoi" is a word created and used by the Greeks. You can guess from the fact that there is a K, which does not exist in the Latin alphabet. "Keltoi", furthermore, indicated the populations encountered by the Greeks when they founded their colony of Messalia (Marseille, in southern France) The Romans called them Gauls. The word "Galatians" also derives from this name, used to indicate the Celts who migrated to Anatolia (now Turkey) The name that the Celts collectively gave themselves is actually unknown, but they were certainly a people who still recognized themselves as unique, even if they were very divided from each other. There is a name: Tené culture, which is used by archaeologists to indicate their collective culture. The name derives from the place where, for the first time, large quantities of finds attributable to a Celtic origin were found un

      Keltioc is only a theory
      In Alexander the greats chronicle we find the word keltioc with no meaning
      Some historians believe it means non greek or barbarian
      But one part of his book used the word to describe Greek people too
      The other source is julius ceaser who wrote tons about celtic tribes one thing being that gauls called themselves celti
      Now if we go by roman source that would make sense since they then went on to call all people north or roam celtic since they must have believed they were all gauls
      It's lile pictii for the Picts but there was tons of tribes in Scotland not just picts they just bundled everything north of the empire into pictish
      Same was done for celts everything north of romans was called celti since gauls used celti.

    Well yes and no... as somebody below already mentioned the term _‘keltoi’_ first began being used by the Greeks, and I believe it was Hecataeus of Miletus that might have coined the term _‘keltoi’_ which could have been used to refer to any number of tribes suchs as the Bituriges, Insubres, Boii, Senones, Sequani, Aedui, Volcae, etc., all different tribal groups of the Gauls.
    In Old Irish the word _ceil_ or another variation _ceilid_ means ‘to hide’ or ‘to conceal’ and then there is the Lithuanian _kálti_ which means ‘to strike’ or ‘to beat’ which could possibly be the origin of the word _Celt._
    Another alternative is that it could be related to an Old Irish word that means ‘exalted,’ but I can't remember what that word was off the top of my head right now.

      Bere is 2 theories
      One is Alexander the great who called them keltioc
      2 is Julius ceaser who stated gauls called themselves celti
      Both could be the origin but both could also be wrong there is very little credible sources from this era
      Irish called themselves geodel-i which is where we get gael from it means free In old gaelic and proto celtic and comes from proto indo European meaning wild.

    Ah, that explains a lot.
    Oh, and thanks for teaching me how to pronounce it. My first language is spanish, and the word 'celta' is pronounced different than 'celt' is in english.

    Maybe not a cultural or tribal reference, but another definition of Celt, or Kelt, is a stone axe. Just a thought.

      Probably just that. It’s interesting to me as I’ve studied different ideas about how the 10 tribes were assimilated and lost their identity and became other names and nations. Also I learned that the world doesn’t really tell the truth about this kind of stuff or anything really. It amazing!

    O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may get to know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Al-Qur'an, Al-Hujurat: 13)
    And indeed, We created humankind from an extract of clay, then placed each human as a sperm-drop in a secure place, then We developed the drop into a clinging clot, then developed the clot into a lump of flesh, then developed the lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, then We brought it into being as a new creation. So Blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators. After that you will surely die. (Al-Qur'an, Al-Mu'minun: 12-15)

      This is getting to be a regular thing, another religious group trolling channels trying to apostolize apparently.
