In ancient Gaul, Celtic tribes inhabited lands now known as France and its neighbors, contributing a distinct linguistic heritage. Gaulish baby names often reflected natural elements, clan affiliations, or warrior spirit. Though largely overshadowed by Latin and Germanic tongues, some examples persist or influence modern French naming. Adopting a Gaulish name reconnects families with a time when druids led rituals, and tribal chiefs forged robust cultural identities.
