If the Normans are so French, why did they bring so many Germanic names to England?

Because Northern French are Germanic. Just because we're called Germany doesn't mean we have a monopoly for all things Germanic. The Germanics were tribes and not a nation.

I know, but then why do French people so vehemently resist this fact? There were certainly many Celts in today's Germany as there were Germanic people in France right?

Speaking of which, can someone maybe find a map of French peoples ethnic backgrounds by region? Because I met two Norman French guys once and they were both super blonde like Finns.

Hence Frankfurt? That's pretty close to France I guess.

>>58223650
Yeah. There's also a Region called Franken in upper Bavaria here.

No, Celts got cucked by the Romans way before the Germanic tribes, so they never made it over here.
