Scotī

1. genitive singular of Scotus (personification of darkness)

Uncertain. Possibly from Celtic, though the name does not correspond to any known tribes. Another possibility is a non-Indo-European substrate.

According to one theory, the original meaning was “cut off, outcast”, related to scoith (to cut off), from scoth (“point, edge (of weapon)”), from Proto-Celtic *skutā, from Proto-Indo-European *skewt- (“to cut”).^[1]
