Morini
The Morini were a Belgic tribe of northern Gaul. They were mentioned in such classical works as the ''Commentarii de Bello Gallico'' written by Julius Caesar.〔Julius Caesar, ''Commentarii de Bello Gallico'' 2.4〕 They became an established part of the Roman empire with the coastal parts of the present-day départment of Pas-de-Calais in northernmost France, bordering on the English Channel. A generation after their entry into the Roman Empire the writer Vergil described them poetically as the remotest of people.〔Wightman, Edith Mary (1985), Gallia Belgica, University of California Press, page 29. See ''Aeneid'' (VIII 671 )〕
==Etymology==
The tribe's name ''Morini'' is thought to be Celtic meaning "those of the sea". It is apparently derived from the suffix ''-no-'' (like other Celtic peoples ''Ruteni'', ''Santoni'', ''Turini'' or ''Tigurini'') and the Celtic word ''mori'' meaning "sea", mentioned in the ''Vienna Glossary'' as ''more'' translated into Latin as ''mare'' "sea". Another derived word ''morici'' exists and is translated into Latin as ''marini'' "sailors". The variation ''morici'' is found in Aremorici "those who live in front of the sea" (Celtic ''are'' "in front of", "along").〔:fr:Pierre-Yves Lambert, ''La langue gauloise'', éditions errance 1994. p. 34.〕 ''Morini'' represents another variation. ''Mori'' is a close relative of Welsh ''môr'', Breton and Cornish ''mor'', Irish ''muir''. The Indo-European prototype was perhaps ''
*móri'' that gave also birth to Germanic ''
*mari'': English mere, German ''Meer'', etc..Old Slavic ''morje'', etc.〔Xavier Delamarre, ''Dictionnaire de la langue gauloise'', éditions errance 2003.〕
