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', and is related to the Gaelic calgach (meaning 'prickly' or 'fierce'). The old Scottish Gaelic word calgag means 'pointer finger' while calg means spear. This casts serious doubt on the Brythonic interpretation. Read more on Wikipedia
