Relating to the Cimbri, an ancient Germanic tribe, or relating to the Cimbrian peninsula (modern-day Jutland, Denmark).
From Latin Cimbrii or Cimbri, the name of the ancient Germanic tribe. The origin of 'Cimbri' itself is uncertain but may relate to an old Germanic root meaning 'to come' or 'to bend.'
The Cimbri were so fearsome to Romans that Marius' victory over them in 101 BCE was celebrated with a public holiday—they invaded from the north like Hannibal from the south, terrifying Rome equally.
