Carna: Difference between revisions

The name *Carna* comes from *[[Carni]]*, the {{wp|Latin}} name for the {{wp|Gaels|Celtic peoples}} that inhabited the westernmost regions of [[Great Levantia]]. The name of the Carni is derived from the {{wp|Scottish Gaelic|Carnish Gaelic}} word *càrn*, which is the root of the {{wp|Scots language|Carnish}} and {{wp|English language|Ænglish}} word "{{wp|Cairn|cairn}}". It is widely believed that the Latin name *Carni* was given to the westernmost Celts of Great Levantia due to the region's high density of cairns, with more ancient cairns being found in Carna than anywhere else in the world. The Carnish Gaelic name for Carna is *Càrna*, meaning "Cairn land" or "Land of cairns".
