Re: The Origins of the Dobunni - 'The Dark-haired people'? by Anonymous on Monday, 03 August 2015

Thanks for your thoughts on the Dobunni! It certainly seems possible that the Dobunni had continental origins, considering their associated 'territory' travels up the Severn and Wye valleys.
However, your suggestion that the 'Do-' prefix of their name implies 'dark hair' cannot have a strong basis. You equate the Irish word 'Dubh' with 'dark hair', but it simply means 'dark' in a nonspecific sense.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
