The Urcean ethnic identity is of early medieval origin. Their ethnonym is derived from peoples living close to the [[Urce River]] in antiquity, referred to in [[Lebhan]] as ''Urciona''.

The Urceans largely descend from two main historical population groups – the earlier [[Latinic people]] of [[Adonerum]] and the native [[Gaelic people]] who inhabited [[Levantia]] prior to the Latinic conquest. While the [[Great Levantia]] period largely saw a degree of segregation between the politically empowered Latinic population as compared to the geographically and politically marginalized Gaelic people, there was nonetheless a degree of admixture and integration. By the time of the fall of Great Levantia, integration of the two cultures began in earnest in the Urce River valley, and by the time of [[Gaius Julius Cicurinus|Saint Julius of the Caeline]], the residents of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] and the [[Urce River]] valley were in the throes of hybridization, beginning a truly unique, Urcean culture. | The Urceans largely descend from two main historical population groups – the earlier [[Latinic people]] of [[Adonerum]] and the native [[Gaelic people]] who inhabited [[Levantia]] prior to the Latinic conquest.

Most prominent among these are the [[Caenish people]] of [[Canaery]] and the southern tip of Levantia. | ||

Despite global classifications of Urceans consistently placing them as among [[Latinic people]]s, and relations between [[Urcea]] and Caphiria and other states on [[Sarpedon]] are characterized by their cultural kinship, Urceans consider themselves neither Latinic or Gaelic but rather the descendants of both groups. While the concept of ''Urceanity'' derives from the cultural traditions of the country as well as the ethnic admixture of Gaels and Latins, immigrants have been known to be able to integrate into Urcean culture. | Despite global classifications of Urceans consistently placing them as among [[Latinic people]]s, and relations between [[Urcea]] and Caphiria and other states on [[Sarpedon]] are characterized by their cultural kinship, Urceans consider themselves neither Latinic or Gaelic but rather the descendants of both groups.
