Name of Galicia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Name of Galicia
The name of ''Galicia'', a nation on the Iberian Peninsula that is currently a part of Spain, derives from the Latin toponym Callaecia, later ''Gallaecia'', related to the name of an ancient tribe that resided north of the Douro river, the Gallaeci or Callaeci in Latin, or ''Kallaikói'' (καλλαικoι) in Greek. ==Etymology== The etymology of the name has been studied since the 7th century. The earliest known attempt at this was due to Isidore of Seville, who related the name of the Galicians and of the Gauls to the Greek word γάλα, ''milk'', 'they are called Galicians because of their fair skin, as the Gauls. For they are fairer than the rest of the peoples of Spain.'〔 Currently, scholars〔 relate the name of the ancient Callaeci either to the Proto-Indo-European *kal-n-eH2 'hill', derived through a local relational suffix -aik-, so meaning 'the hill (people)'; or either to Proto-Celtic *kallī- 'forest', so meaning 'the forest (people)'.〔Curchin, Leonard A. (2008) (Estudios Gallegos''The toponyms of the Roman Galicia: New Study'' ). CUADERNOS DE ESTUDIOS GALLEGOS LV (121): 111.〕 Anyway, ''Galicia'', being ''per se'' a derivation of the ethnic name ''Callaicoi'', would mean the "land of the Galicians".
