Historical reference
Ambiorix (Gaulish "king of the surroundings", or "king-protector") was, together with Cativolcus, prince of the Eburones, leader of a Belgic tribe of north-eastern Gaul (Gallia Belgica), where modern Belgium is located. In the nineteenth century, Ambiorix became a Belgian national hero because of his resistance against Julius Caesar, as written in Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico.
It is generally accepted that Ambiorix is a Gaulish personal name formed with the suffix ambio- attached to rix ('king'). The meaning of the first element is debated. Lindeman (2007) interprets ambio- (Gaulish 'protector, ruler') as stemming from the Proto-Indo-European compound *h₂mbhí-péh₃ ('protector'; compare with Old Indic adhi-pá- 'protector, ruler, master, king'), leading to 'Ambio-rix' as the 'king-protector'. Delamarre (2003) argues that ambio- ('enclosure'; compare with Old Irish imbe 'enclosure') is a thematized form of the Gaulish suffix ambi- ('around, on both sides'). In this view, 'Ambiorix' could be translated as the 'king of the enclosure', or the 'king of the surroundings'.
