Galicia, derived from the Latin 'Gallia,' is of Spanish and Portuguese origin. It means 'Land of the Gauls,' referring to the ancient Celtic people who migrated from Gaul, present-day France, to the Iberian Peninsula. The name gained prominence during the Middle Ages and has since been popularized by the autonomous community of Galicia in northwest Spain, known for its unique culture and history.
