Galicja
Galicia, Galacia or Halychyna (Polish: Galicja, Ukrainian: Галичина (Halychyna), German: Galizien; Russian: Галичина (Galichina), Yiddish: גאליציע (Galitsie), Czech: Halič) is a historical region in Eastern Europe, currently divided between Poland and Ukraine,
Galicia (there is also another one in Poland), Galitia (Turkey), Gaul (France), and Gailes (the Irish Celts). All appear to have a similar root in a common language reinforcing the once dominance of the Celtic people across Europe’s boundaries. Some History of the Celts in Europe and Galicia
Here's a map: 
Which fits the Celtic territory: 
The region has a turbulent history. In Roman times the region was populated by various tribes of Celto-Germanic admixture, including Celtic-based tribes – like the Galice or "Gaulics" and Bolihinii or "Volhynians" – the Lugians and Cotini of Celtic, Vandals and Goths of Germanic origins (the Przeworsk and Púchov cultures). Beginning with the Wandering of the nations, the great migration coincident with the fall of the Roman Empire, the area was invaded by various groups of nomadic people, starting with late-100 AD Scythians, Sarmatians (including Alans, Croats and Serbs) (4th-5th century), Huns (5th century), Avars (6th-8th century), Slavs (with Slavized Croats and Serbs, 6th-9th century),
I included the part about Serbs for you Crow ;)

This is just a theory, I have no really proof and there seems to be very little information on it. Perhaps someone can refute it or add more.
