Scota ~ name of the great goddess of the Sea Going Celts who arrived in Britain from Spain way back in the 8th century BC. It was later transferred to Alba (as Scotland) during the re-peopling period of the 7th and 8th centuries AD.

Ireland was earlier called Scota. It was renamed Ireland after Ire, one of the three brothers who invaded in the 8th century BC.

BTW, that's according to Galician histories in Northern Spain. The English have a different take on the matter but who are they? They lived in a great big old sinking bog-land in Europe at the time!
