"""
The name of Galicia, an autonomous community of Spain and former kingdom on the Iberian Peninsula, derives from the Latin toponym Callaecia, later Gallaecia, related to the name of an ancient tribe that resided north of the Douro river, the Gallaeci or Callaeci in Latin, or Kallaikói (καλλαικoι) in Greek.[1]
"""
"""
The name of the region derives from the medieval city of Halych,[7][8][9] and was first mentioned in Hungarian historical chronicles in the year 1206 as Galiciæ.[10][11]
...
Some historians[a] speculated that the name had to do with a group of people of Thracian origin (i.e. Getae)[13] who during the Iron Age moved into the area after the Roman conquest of Dacia in 106 CE and may have formed the Lypytsia culture with the Venedi people who moved into the region at the end of La Tène period.[13]
