Celtic roots
Irish musical origins
Celtic roots refers to ancestry, cultural heritage, or linguistic origins tracing back to the Celtic peoples—ancient tribes of Britain, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, and parts of continental Europe.
Someone exploring their Celtic roots might research Irish or Scottish genealogy, learn Gaelic, or embrace traditions like Celtic music and festivals.
The phrase also describes etymological origins: Many English words have Celtic roots.
