	A Consideration of Pictish Names
		There are a wide variety of "origin legends" for the Picts, most of which seem to be motivated by a desire to connect them with every known appearance of the term "Picti" or "Pictones" (never mind that these are Latin terms) or with the custom of painting or tattooing the body.
		It is also possible that the names refer accurately to the kings' fathers, but that the insistance on using a patronym in the records, rather than some other relationship, is dictated by later (or foreign) sensibilities.
		It is also perfectly possible that while the method of inheritance remained the same, the Picts themselves had adopted Celtic ideas of naming to the extent of perfering patronyms to some system that made more functional sense in their society.
