Etymology
editA latinized form of Gaulish *Allobrogis (plural of *Allobrox). It is composed of the Celtic roots 'allo-', see Gaulish allos (“other, second”), cognate with Latin alius (“other”) and English else, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂élyos (“other, another”) and of the root 'brogi-' ('territory, region, march'), which would translate to 'those from another country', exile or stranger.
