The Galicians are descendents of the Gallaeci, a Celtic group that lived in the region of Spain just north of Portugal. Their Celtic language, Gallaecian, was replaced by a Romance language after Rome conquered the area. Although Galicia is an autonomous community within Spain and almost all Galicians speak Spanish, their language and culture share many similarities with those of Portugal.
This gives Galicians a unique cross-cultural status in their home country. Galician names are used by the large majority of Galicians who live in Galicia, and also in large communities in other countries, notably Argentina.
