The term "Gaulois" comes from the Latin word "Galli," which referred to the Celtic tribes living in the region of Gaul (modern-day France). The Romans used this term to describe the people of Gaul. Over time, the term evolved into "Gaulois" in French to refer to the ancient Celtic inhabitants of Gaul.
