معنی اسکوت و پیکت The meaning of scot and pict

نام مردم باستانی اسکوت و پیکت در اسکاتلند به ترتیب به معنی تیرانداز و نیزه ور به نظر می رسند.

Possibly the name of the picts come from Nordic pikt [ar], "those who have lances". In comparison, scots' name may come from skyttes (archers).

The comparison of their names is important, and makes the theory strong.

Swedish skott means to shoot.
