Today I came across the Old Irish word danmargach, which is derived from Danmarg (Denmark) and means "ferocious foreigner, fierce warrior, marauder." It's often found alongside díbergach "marauder, bandit, pirate, etc." and allmarach "foreigner, outlander." This reminds me of another reference to Denmark in medieval Irish: in the text Aided Guill ocus Gairb "The Violent Death of Goll and Garb," Denmark is referred to as inis Danmarg "the island of Denmark." #OldIrish #Irish #Medieval #Celtic
