If you know the cartoon Asterix you know what the Celts are they ar in the cartoon called Gauls but that's the roman name for Celts, celt comes from the Greeks originaly Celtoi.

The Celts did not give themselves any name after Roman rule.

In Britannia, by the time of the end of Roman rule the Celts under their rule (England and Wales) had become latinised. Roman rule ended partly with the Immigration of the Angles, Saxon, Jutes, and Frisians, who were Germanic peoples. The Celts passed from being under one ruler to being under other rulers.

In Gaul the Celts also became latinised. They were conquered by Germanic people, too.

The Romans and Celts were two Indo-European groups of people. They had different cultures, languages and values. The Romans were considered a Mediterranean culture while the Celts were a northern culture. Celtic peoples populated Europe from northern Italy to the North Sea, into Britain and in Ireland and Wales. The Mediterranean culture populated the countries in southern Europe into Turkey and around the mideast and northern Africa.

The Romans referred to the Celts by the generic term, Gauls. To the Romans, anyone living in far northern Italy or beyond the Alps were "Gauls".

They never occupied Ireland although there is a suggestion they were looking at the possibilty of doing so.
