Best Answer

The Celtic Sea is the area of the Atlantic Ocean due south of Ireland.

The word Celt, simplified, refers to a group of tribes that originated in Ireland in the Iron ages. This is why the word Celt is associated with Ireland, as the term Gaelic is for Scotland.

Therefore, it is called the Celtic Sea, because it is south of the country where Celts live.
