Greek writings of Celtic names...
#1
I dont'think this is the best place for my question, but I think i will reach the most "Greeks" here... :wink:

At the moment I'm trying to com up with a Celtic name. The Celts wrote there names (when they did) in foreign characters... For example with the Greek alphabet.

I have found a Celtic name on a Celtic sword from around 60 BC written with the Greek alphabet and it go's like this: KOPICIOC, with translates now adays into Korisios...
the second part of my name will be the name of my "father" That I have taken from Caesar's "The Gallic wars" and that will be ORGETORIX, (which is probably written the Roman way) because my persona and also the sword are from Swiss.
The third part of my name will be my tribe that I have found written with Etruscan characters on a piece of pottery and go's like this: ELUVEITIE. Meaning "from the Helvetiers"

Now my question is: if i want to be consequent in writing my name with the Greek alphabet, how would ORGETORIX ans ELUVETIE look like???

Would the Etruscan Alphabet be similar to the Greek one??
