There is a basic principle to the names of ancient Celtic tribes. Most of them took their names from Central and Eastern European rivers. These tribal names did not change when they moved to the West of Europe. Here are some tables which explain many Celtic names. There is more material in the larger paper from which they are excerpted, CELTIC CULTURE'S RANGE IN TIME AND DISTANCE. Thank you for your interest.
