Conan

[greg scaff]

Hi Oscar, 
Conan is a Fantasy movie based on a work of fiction by author Robert E. Howard.  Conan is indeed a Celtic name, but the character is a Cimmerian from the Ukraine area, and the story is set in a murky, prehistorical era, centuries before Germanic speakers entered the Black Sea area. I believe Howard patterned his characters after stereotypical Vikings, thus giving them names like Osric. 
Peace! 
Gregory
