Clans and Families of Ireland and Scotland: An Ethnography of the Gael A.D. 500 - 1750
by C. Thomas Cairney, Ph.D.
From "Chapter VII: The Érainn"
The Érainn were the second of the Celtic groups to come to Ireland, as discussed in Chapter II. They arrived from the Continent between 500 and 100 B.C., and established their La Tène culture throughout the island as a military aristocracy possessing superior iron weapons technology. They were akin to the Belgae of Southwest Britain, and were generally known as the Ulaid in the North, and as the Erainn or Desi in the South, although all the tribes of this ethnic group were known ultimately to be Erainn. The great Erainnian population groups of around A.D. 600, such as the Muscraige of Munster, gave rise in the Middle Ages to the independently branched tribal groups that follow.
