Cilternsæteの英語

The Cilternsæte (or Ciltern Sætna) were an Anglian tribe who, according to the Tribal Hidage (which valued their territory at 4000 hides), occupied (and gave their name to) the Chilterns, probably in the 6th century (Their assessment is relatively large compared to those of some other Midland tribes, being one twenty-fifth of that of the whole of Wessex.) However their name must have been derived from the name of the hills since it is of Brythonic origin. It is suggested by Ekwall that Chiltern is possibly related to the ethnic name "Celt" ("Celtæ" in early Celtic). An adj. *celto- 'high' with suffix -erno- could be the origin of Chiltern.
