Scotia (pronounced "skoh-sha") was originally a Roman name for Ireland, inhabited by the people they called Scoti or Scotii, the early Gaels.Use of the name shifted in the Middle Ages to designate the part of the island of Great Britain lying north of the Firth of Forth, the Kingdom of Alba. By the later Middle Ages it had become the fixed Latin term for what in English is called Scotland.
