Everything about Caledonia Roman totally explained
» This article is about Caledonia as a name for northern Britain. For other uses, see Caledonia (disambiguation)
Caledonia is the
Latin name given by the
Roman Empire to a northern area of the island of
Great Britain and means "Wooded Land". The use of the name sometimes refers specifically to the area north of the
Antonine Wall. The name represents that of a
Pictish tribe, the '
Caledonii', one amongst several in the region, though perhaps the dominant tribe. Their name can be found in 'Dùn Chailleann', the
Scottish Gaelic word for the town of
Dunkeld.
The modern use of 'Caledonia' in
English and
Scots is as a romantic or poetic name for
Scotland. 'Scotland' itself is derived from
Scotia, the Latin term for
Ireland, from which the
Scoti peoples originated before resettling in northern Great Britain.
