But compare also Buana, Beneificant-Queen, Who is linked with Boann.}

Geography/Culture: Celtic: Milesian (Irish), from Spain. The use of the term Milesian to signify a native of Ireland is said to be after Milesius (Miledh), a legendary Spanish king referred to as an ancestor of the Irish people. These Milesians are said to have originated in Greece early in the second millennium BC, and to have taken many generations to reach Ireland, after wandering about the Mediterranean. Milesian also means a native or inhabitant of Miletus, an ancient Ionian city on the west coast of Asia Minor, near the mouth of the Menderes, said to have been built by Miletus, a son of Apollo. There is descrepancy between AHDEL & G,R.WG]
Linguistic Note: Scot is derived from Old English Scott, pl. Scottas, 'the Irish', from Old Irish Scuit, 'the Irish', nominative singular Scot: ? 'the Wanderers'; a Gaelic tribe who migrated from Ireland to northern Britain about the sixth century AD. -ia, is a territorial suffix.
