   "Gaelic, at any rate, offers us a precisely similar case-fin (for example in   
   the name Fin-Gal), the distinguishing word for nobility, finally for the   
   good, noble, pure, originally meant the blond-headed, in contradistinction   
   to the dark, black-haired aboriginal inhabitants." Friedrich Nietzsche -  On   
   the Genealogy of Morals   
      
   I brought this in a discussion and my opponent, who speaks Irish, is giving   
   Nietzsche and me names.   
      
   So, was Nietzsche right, talking about the prechristian celtic and "fin-"   
   for noble, nobility?
