"Pict" is "Pettr" in Old Norse, "Peohta" in Old English, "Pecht" in Scots and "Peithwyr" ("pict-men") in Welsh. Some think these words suggest an original Pictish root, instead of a Latin coinage. If this is the case, the Gaulish ethnonym "Pictones", several given-names such as "Pictilos" and even the Gaulish word "pixte" ("fifthly"), may provide etymological parallels. The name "Peithan" in Canu Aneirin, and the "-beith" element in Middle Welsh "gobeith" ("confidence"), presuming the latter is Celtic, may represent a Brittonic "*pext", which might be a further possibility.
