Excerpt from Tristan and Isolt, Vol. 2: A Study of the Sources of the Romance
Of the Celtic names, some may be survivals of the Celtic story, others may have been introduced by the redactor of the estoire, or a French predecessor. The French redactors, whether they wrote on the continent or in England, would naturally be familiar with the more usual names of their Celtic neighbors. Our knowledge of the phonology of the Celtic dialects' previous to the twelfth century is not sufficiently accurate to permit definite conclusions as to exactly which Celtic dialect or dialects the names preserved in the Tristan texts represent.
