The name "Belgae" itself is of uncertain origin, but some theories suggest it might be related to:
* "Bellum," the Latin word for "war," possibly referring to their warlike nature.
* "Belenos," a Celtic god associated with light and healing, suggesting a connection to a specific deity or cultural belief.
* "Bel," a Celtic god representing light and fire, potentially reflecting a cultural connection to the sun or other celestial bodies.
Therefore, "Belgium" essentially means "the land of the Belgae".
