So very fascinating...
According to my reasearch, which is by no means accurate, I am quite heavily Germanic and not Celtic.
My name is Taylor Hood. Family names are Hood and Scott.
Hood= Anglo-Saxon/German
The Saxons were a Germanic Tribe located in England. Yes? "Saxons mixed with and had strong influences upon the languages and cultures of the Scandinavian and Baltic peoples."
The Saxon's believed in Germanic Paganism. (Something I study quite a lot.)
Scott= "The surname Scott is derived from the proud Boernician clans of the Scottish-English border region."
See? Half Scottish, half English.
Scott = Probably referring to someone who lives in Scotland/Germanic language of Scots.
Hood= English name, essentially. English is a Germanic language.
Names like Angus McDougal are Celtic, aren't they? The Highlands are predominantly Celtic. Both family names are certainly not similar to that example.
From this I can discern that I am quite Germanic. My last name is Anglo-Saxon. I never actually knew that...
I haven't done any real family tree research, but the fact that both family names are Scottish/English/German and closley related to the Borders, suggests we've been here for a while.
Edit: the Boernicians were a collective group of Picts, Angles and Vikings. This also strengthens my idea of being Germanic.
Am I just connecting stupid facts together? It is 6 in the morning... So very tired.
