The Scottish place name "Galloway"—rendered in modern Gaelic "Gall-Ghaidhealaibh"—is derived from the Gaelic "i nGall Gaidhealaib" ("amongst the "Gall Gaidheil""). The thirteenth-century "Orkneyinga saga" refers to Galloway in Old Norse as "Gaddgeðlar", a name clearly derived from "Gall Gaidheil". The region was certainly associated with the "Gall Gaidheil" earlier in the previous century. Specifically, two members of the region's ruling family—Roland fitz Uhtred and Alan fitz Roland—are styled by the "Annals of Ulster" as ""rí Gall Gaidhel"" ("King of the "Gall Gaidheil"") like Suibne himself. Although this title could suggest some sort of connection between Suibne and Galloway, there is no evidence of any familial link between him and the later Gallovidian rulers. In fact, it is only by the twelfth century, during the "floruits" of that earliest members of the Gallovidian ruling family, that the "Gall Gaidheil" terminology came to be territorially confined within the boundaries of Galloway.
