Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Welsh Lloegyr; further etymology unknown, with various disparate theories. See an in-depth analysis at this page at The Old North. TON claims Matasović (2009) presents the most plausible simple hypothesis, ultimately from Proto-Celtic *lāikor (warriors), from *lāiko- (warrior), from Proto-Indo-European *leh₂- (war), and cognate with Hittite 𒆷𒄴𒄩𒀸 (laḫḫa-, campaign), Ancient Greek λᾱός (lāós, army, folk).
