Plural form (sometimes Latin); relating to the Galatians, an ancient Celtic people who settled in Anatolia.
From Latin 'Galatae,' the Latin name for the Galatians, a Celtic tribal confederation. The word comes from Celtic roots related to 'Gallia' (Gaul).
The Galatians were Celtic warriors so far from home that they ended up in what's now Turkey, around 300 BCE—and they were so fierce that they became legendary mercenaries, hired by various rulers because they were nearly impossible to defeat.
