Well, the Galicians certainly sound a lot more plausible than the Basques!

Incidentally, like the Galicians, the Galatians (of New Testament fame) also
got their name because they were originally Gauls (ie, Celts) who had
migrated to their present home - hence an old friend's habit of referring to
"Paul's Epistle to the East Irish."
