Vlochy probably derives from Vlach, the term used by Slavs to refer to Romance speaking peoples, also derived from the Germanic "Welsch".

Some examples :

Walachia = land of the Vlachs / Welschen
Vallonia = same as above
Wales = same as above


I wonder if all those Vlach, Welsch, Valloon, are adjectives in some way derived from Latin "Vallum" (wall, border); adjectives used in origin to refer to the peoples living beyond the border (which also spoke Latin).

That is an interesting hypothesis...
I always wrongly believed that this root val/wal was more related to gauls than romans.
Anyway the pattern is pretty clear in toponyms all over periferal parts o the roman empire.

The Polish Vlochy has likely the same etymology of Vlach, Wales, Walloon.

Walhazis a reconstructedProto-Germanicword meaning "foreigner", "stranger", "Roman", "Romance-speaker", or "Celtic-speaker".

Funny how they grouped together celts and romans

I knew of the branch of IE but the fact that they had a same name for both means they were the same language for a while after splitting from IE and before becoming their own thing. And That this splitting is possibly younger than the split to proto germanic.

Some roman writer said( i don't remember who) they could understand basic cispadanic celtic
