#1 The word Celtic is being used more and more in popular culture. It is being used to boost sales, and it is being used to promote the Celtic lifestyle.

#2 The word Celt is used to describe many things. It is used to describe a shared heritage among many political movements, and it is used to describe the people who live in the Celtic countries. But some archaeologists argue that the word Celt should be avoided, because it distorts our understanding of the archaeological record.

#3 The widely asked questions of when the Celts arrived in Britain and where they came from are now redundant, as the belief in one or more Celtic invasions into these islands first came about after the antiquarian scholar Edward Lhuyd coined the word Celtic for a group of languages and published an account of them.

#4 The term Celtic was originally used to describe the inhabitants of the British Isles and Ireland. It was used throughout the first edition of the British Museum Guide to the Antiquities of the Early Iron Age in 1905, but by the time of the second edition in 1925, the term was dropped because there was some uncertainty about whether or not an earlier Celtic civilization existed in these islands.
