Scotia

[2] Old Irish documents use the term Scot (plural Scuit) going back as far as the 9th century; for example, in the glossary of Cormac mac Cuilennáin.

He believed it referred to bands of outcast Gaelic raiders, suggesting that the Scots were to the Gaels what the Vikings were to the Norse.

Dutch Schotland, French Écosse, Czech Skotsko, Zulu IsiKotilandi, Māori Koterana, Hakka Sû-kak-làn, Quechua Iskusya, Turkish İskoçya etc.

The only exceptions are the Celtic languages, where the names are based on the Alba root; e.g., Manx Nalbin, Welsh Yr Alban", Irish "Albain."

Pope Leo X of the Roman Catholic Church eventually granted Scotland exclusive right over the word, and this led to Anglo-Scottish takeovers of continental Gaelic monasteries (e.g., the Schottenklöster).

In the year 1005, after Brian Boru was crowned king, he adopted the title Imperator Scotorum,[12] "Emperor of the Scoti" suggesting he saw himself as the overlord of all Scotia and Gaels.

[14] According to the Middle Irish language synthetic history Lebor Gabála Érenn, she was the daughter of Pharaoh Necho II of Egypt.
