Calgacus
According to Tacitus, Calgacus (sometimes Calgacos or Galgacus) was a chieftain of the Caledonian Confederacy who fought the Roman army of Gnaeus Julius Agricola at the Battle of Mons Graupius in northern Scotland in AD 83 or 84. His name can be interpreted, though not attested, as Brittonic *calg-ac-os "possessing a blade, a swordsman", and may be related to the Gaelic calgach "fierce, prickly". Whether the word is a name or a title is unknown. Read more on Wikipedia
