Celtic Names

Celtic names connect to a range of modern cultures, from Irish to Scottish to Welsh, Cornish and Breton. There is much crossover between Celtic names and Gaelic names; the Celts were an ancient tribe that roamed throughout northern Europe, including the modern British Isles and northern France. Some baby names that might be considered Celtic include popular modern choices such as Brett and Imogen, Arthur and Cordelia. The classic boys' name Allen is rooted in the Celtic language, as is the mythic Tristan.
