The Celtiberian language is attested from the first century BC. Two other possibly Celtic languages, Tartessian and Lusitanian, were also spoken in pre-Roman Iberia. The Lusitanii gave their name to Lusitania, the Roman province name covering current Portugal and Extremadura. Extant tribal names include the Arevaci, Belli, Titti, and Lusones.
