CELTIC NAMES FROM CLASSICAL WRITTERS It is my goal with this Table to list every Celtic Name and origin from as many of the classical writers as possible. I am attempting to keep only to the documentable names and avoid using unconfirmed ones. I hope to make it sortable by tribe or year at a later time when I have a better script available. Please feel free to offer additional sources of names at any time, or help to keep me honest in my spelling or correct any mistakes. I AM HOPING THAT THIS LIST WILL BE OF USE OR HELPFUL TO ANYONE WHO IS RESEARCHING CELTIC NAMES. I STILL HAVE MANY MORE TO INCLUDE SO I WILL TRY TO KEEP THIS PAGE UPDATED. LAST UPDATE WAS ON 24 NOV 2004 PLEASE REVIEW MY LIBRARY FOR FUTURE UPDATES.

CELTIC NAMES AS SEEN ON EARLY COINS Where possible I am trying to list the names as accurately as possible. My source books are mostly in French, and I am unfortunately at a disadvantage in translating. So some of my information will be either inacurate or incomplete. Also note that some coins carried two or more names on them. Most likely due to a multiple kingship/chieftain commissioning. I have listed the sources so that those who have the greater skill can do their own research. My knowledge is limited in this area, but I do not see many attempting such a daunting task. So its here for any who may have an interest or appreciation for it. Any suggestions or assistance is and would be greatly appreciated.
