Of Proto-Indo-European origin, but whether the name came through Celtic or Germanic is uncertain; possibly from *tḱim-ro- (“inhabitant”), from *tḱoi-m- (“home”), a derivation of *tḱey- (“to settle, to live”).[1] Probably from the same ultimate source as Himmerland, a peninsula in Jutland, Denmark, the region where the people are thought to originate. Perhaps related to Κιμμέριος (Kimmérios, “Cimmerian”). Not etymologically related to Welsh Cymry.[2] More at Cimbri.
