 THE TRANSITION FROM PICTLAND TO ALBA TO SCOTLAND

Kings of Scots would soon discover ways to set clan chiefs against one another in order to cement the foundation of their power, but the old Celtic manner of succession to the throne continued to have strong support, as the inhabitants of Pictland were absorbed into the Scottish culture.
Fourteen kings and almost two hundred years later, King Malcolm II was influenced by the Saxon method of succession in the male line of inheritance, but had no male issue.

 A Consideration of Pictish Names: Introduction
Other pseudo-histories carefully list wanderings and emigrations of "the Picts" that would connect them with every place or ethnic name resembling "pict" (such as the Pictones of Gaul, whose name became modern Poictou) and every mention of skin-painting or tattooing.
An early 4th century reference notes "the Caledones and other Picts" (although it is technically possible to interpret the Latin as "the Caledones, the Picts, and others"); Ammianus Marcellinus (4th century) describes the Picts as divided into two groups, the "Dicalydones" and "Verturiones".
Some of the personal names appearing in the lists of "kings of the Picts" also appear to be non-Celtic, although many are clearly of Celtic origin.

 Pict Resource and References Page
The earliest record we have of the word "Pict" describing a group of people in Britain comes from a poem by Eumenius dated A.D. 297, which mentions the "Picti" along with the "Hiberni" as enemies of the "Britanni".
The word "picti" is most often understood as a plural of the Latin participle "pictum" from the verb "pingo" "to paint; to dye or color; to decorate".
Writers from the 3rd century on (and especially from the mid-4th century on) make reference to Picts as a people living in the north of Britain as contrasted with other identifiable ethnic groups such as Hiberni, Scotti, Saxones, Britanni.
