The background of National Gordon Day

Gordon is an English, Scottish, and French surname. The name was derived from the surname ‘Gordon,’ which was derived from a place in Scotland or France. Possibly derived from the British Celtic ‘gor’ (spacious) and ‘dun’ (fort). Today, numerous individuals have the given name Gordon or use it as a surname.

The Celtic language spoken in Britain and Brittany is referred to as Common Brittonic. A language is a subset of the Insular Celtic language family. During Roman rule, it is believed that Latin had a significant impact on Common Brittonic. This is notably true due to the spread of Christianity in Europe, as Latin was the language of the church for a very long time. Common Brittonic quickly diverged into numerous Neo-Brittonic languages, including Welsh, Cumbric, Breton, Cornish, and Pictish. Long-spoken in the region, it was eventually supplanted by Scottish Gaelic and Old English in Scotland.

Curiously, some of the earliest written evidence of the language was composed of obscenities. The language ultimately became extinct because it was supplanted by languages such as Gaelic and Old English. Some languages endure through loanwords and names such as Gordon.
