The term "Picts" is derived from the Latin word "Picti," meaning "the painted ones." This name was used by Roman writers to describe the tribes living in what is now Scotland, who were known for their practice of body painting or tattooing. The Picts are often associated with their unique art and symbols, which they carved into stones and other materials. Their distinct cultural identity set them apart from neighboring tribes during the early medieval period.
