Caratacus-son-of-Cunobelinus-son-of-Tasciovanus

 

According to Wikipedia:

Caratacus (Brythonic *CaratācosMiddle Welsh CaratawcWelsh CaradogBreton KaradegGreek Καράτακος; variants Latin Caractacus, Greek Καρτάκης) was a 1st-century AD British chieftain of the Catuvellauni tribe, who resisted the Roman conquest of Britain.


A war lord who resisted the Roman Army, not without success. He belongs to the "Catuvellaunian" Tribe.

*

But who was he?

His Father?

His Grandfather?

*

As I saw the names of these men, I thought of the Turkish Names (I ignore Roman/Greek -S or -US or -OS):


Caratacus: Karataku=> Black Bird / Black Chicken

Cunobelinus: Günbelen/Günebelen=> Bright Mountain or Bright Ford (Belen , Turkish word for a place where you can pass a mountain) 

Tasciovanus: Taşkovan => He who carves Stones 

*

As we see above we can explain these names with Turkish words.
