Excerpt: ... the frisians the fatheestock of the saxonenglish people. In the reading of what some of the Latin writers have told us of the tribes of North Western Germany, it is not always easy to understand which of them were Teutonic, or which were Celtic. The word Germania does not help our wavering thought, for we have no good grounds for believing that the Teutonic tribes ever called themselves Germani, or that Germania is a Teutonic word. The people whom we, with some of the Roman writers, call Germans, have always called themselves by a name of such clippings as T T, T D, or D T, as Teutons, Deutsch, Duitsch, from which even the Italians have taken the name of Tudesco, instead of Germanus, while the French call the Germans Allemands. Now German and All-man are Celtic words, German meaning neighbour or inlander. and Allman foreigner or outlander; and even now yr Allman, in Welsh, would mean either a stranger in general, or a German as such.
