What is a Teutonic origin? First, let me begin by explaining what 'Teutonic' means: it refers to the ancient Northern European tribe of the Teutons, a group which are historically best assumed to have been a Germanic-Celtic people. Through fragmentary sources of information, most historians agree that the Teutons were a predominantly Germanic tribe and take into account the records of early classical writers who described the Teutons as also sharing Celtic heritage. It is also mentioned through modern and ancient writings that a distinct 'language of the Teutons' was never explicitly named and only can be described as being a combination of Germanic-Gaelic. In a historical context, the Teutonic people were best known for their participation in the Cimbrian War with the Romans towards the end of the 2nd Century BC.
