    There is no perfect ethnics so if you like it or not French are basically Gauls.

    I guess, especially sense the franks themselves were part rhine celtic... although I'd say the northern french are more so then the south french who are more influenced by both meds and MENAs

    So my family has a surname “Gallien” that has alternated spellings with “Gallion” and “Galyean”
    Family lore is that it is a French spelling of someone who was of Gaul ancestry.
    Does anyone know if this holds any truth to it?

    maybe, although I'd say most french are part gaulish, perhaps it's male progenitor was a gallo-roman in the frankish holy roman empire?
