Lugii
A tribe of likely
Celtic or
Germanic origin (also Lygians, Lugians). The connection between the Lugii and the
Slavs is controversial. Some recent authors connect them with Slavs, some with Germans, and still others claim that the Lugii were a compound tribe, or confederation of tribes of different ethnicity. The Lugii or Lygii had earlier
Celtic elements and were actually recorded as a part of the Vandals in Magna Germania, which included territory of later
Silesia (named for the Silingii-
Vandals). It is possible that the city of
Legnica (Liegnitz) in Silesia was named for Lug, Ligo.
