Celtic roots of both the Falklands and Malvinas names ?

A recent analysis suggests that both the English name 'Falkland' and the Spanish name 'Malvinas' for the islands in the South Atlantic share etymological origins in Celtic languages. The argument, presented by Tomaí Ó Conghaile, emerged in the context of discussions following the World Cup.

The findings propose that these linguistic roots connect the nomenclature of the disputed territory to Celtic heritage, offering a shared historical dimension to the names used by both sides of the sovereignty debate.
