Do Celtic names end in "us", like latin names, or just this one? Bianchi-Bihan 03:07, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Sort of. Linguists reckon that most masculine words actually ended in "-os", like in Greek, but Roman writers changed it to "us" when they wrote them in Latin, same as they did to Greek names. Britons like Eppillus, whose name we know from his own coins, or Cunobelinus, who also spells his name with an "-us" on his coins, were rulers of Roman satellite states, which probably influenced them to write their names in the Roman fashion. The man who Julius Caesar calls Commius, a Gaulish king who fled to Britain after declaring he never wanted to see another Roman, spells his name "Commios" on his British coins. --Nicknack009 11:12, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
