The word Saxon goes back far before that, and derives from "saka-suni" which is loosely "Isaacs son". Please read the 3-MINUTE history at my Profile to save bandwidth. Thanks.
Uh huh.
Thor Hyerdahl demonstrated conclusively that the ancient Norwegians migrated from Assyria about 100 AD or thereabouts. They were not Celtic in culure nor Gaelic in language when the Romans were running around placing levies on them in those days (which is why they left the area).
The Norwegians were Germanic and spoke a Gothic language then. The Swedes probably derive from no more than 6 of these earliest Norwegians.
