Germanic names

[Alanus]

I think David Franzoni wrote it as Cymric, but it wasn't history. It was the movie, and perhaps he made a spin on Cynric. But we do have the Cimbri, evidently from Jutland before storming down into Southern Europe. Some of their leaders had Celtic names. So is it possible that the Celtic and Germanic languages were not all that different in structure?

And you have to wonder where the Britons (Welsh) originally came from in the first place. In Caesar's time, many of the tribes emigrating into Britain were from Belgica, and they had a Germanic element in their culture. Did any of them, like the Eburones, settle in the south or just up at Eburicum? I remember that Commius and his son migrated after the Gallic wars, but maybe along the southeast.

I realize that we have to watch out about the origin of names. Back in the 1790s, professor Sharon Turner thought the Saxons evolved from the Saka, and that the Cymri's ancestors were the Cimmerians. :lol:
