Etymology
Kelt comes from the old Greek name Keltoi, a word ancient writers used for a 'group of tribes' in parts of Europe. That name later became the Latin Celtae and the English words Celt and Celtic. So, a Kelt is one of those ancient European people, which is why the word names the early tribes of Britain, Spain, and Gaul.
