Scottish Gaelic edit
Etymology edit
From Old Irish alp, from Proto-Celtic *alb- (“hill, highland”), which, according to Delamarre, is from *albiyū (“the luminous world”).[1] Often compared to Latin Alpes (English Alps) but the relationship between these words (and its Romance descendants) is unclear.
