The Cruthin (Old Irish, ; Middle Irish ''Cruithnig'' or ''Cruithni''; Modern (アイルランド語:Cruithne) (:ˈkɾˠɪhn̠ʲə)) were a people of early Ireland, who occupied parts of the present day Counties of Antrim, Laois, Galway, Londonderry and Down in the early medieval period. The Cruthin comprised a number of túatha, including the Dál nAraidi in southern Antrim and the Uí Echach Cobo in western Down. Early sources preserve a distinction between the Cruthin and the Ulaid, who gave their name to the province of Ulster, although the Dál nAraide claimed in their genealogies to be ''na fir Ulaid'', "the true Ulaid".〔Ó Cróinín 2005, pp. 182-234.〕 The Loígis, who gave their name to County Laois in Leinster, and the Sogain of Connacht are also claimed as Cruthin in early Irish genealogies.〔Byrne 2001, pp. 39, 236.〕 By the late 8th century, the Dál nAraidi had secured their over-kingship of the Cruthin and their name replaced that of the Cruthin. ==Etymology== (詳細はGaelic version of the Brittonic term '' *pritenī'', both derived from an earlier Insular Celtic form *''kʷritenī'', which is taken to mean "painted/tattooed people".〔Chadwick 1949, pp. 66-80〕〔Maier 1997, p. 230〕 The Brittonic form is the origin of the Welsh ''Prydain'', the Latin ''Britanni''/''Britannia'', and the English "Briton"/"Britain".〔〔Ó Cróinín 2005, p. 213〕〔Dunbavin 1998, p. 3〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cruthin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
