Quote:I'm very familiar with Vlach and Romanian anthroponomastics, so here are some examples.
So you see, it is quite possible for someone to bear an ethnic/nation-derived name, with no relation whatsoever with his own language, ancestry, citizenship, and so on.
I myself am descended on my fathers side with the name of "Greco(the Greek)" and on my mothers side "Young(Jung?)". It is not unknown in America either. Even still we(Caucasian Americans) are only "normally" around 200 years removed from Europe.
The main problem is there is no evidence of La Tene culture coming from anywhere else and that leads most to believe that the culture was primarily sedentary towards that part of Europe; at least throughout Greek and Roman influence. The Greek and then Roman records of the time reinforce this view.
