The Iceni were probably best known for Queen Boudicca, or Boadicea as she is also known, and the Boudiccan rebellion of 60/61AD. The Iceni or Eceni were a Brythonic tribe who inhabited an area of Britain corresponding roughly to the modern-day county of Norfolk between the 1st century BC and 1st century AD. The Cenimagni, who surrendered to Julius Caesar during his second expedition to Britain in 54 BC, may have been a branch of the Iceni.[1]

Since the name was a Roman transliteration of their (probably lost) original, an accurate translation is impossible. Alas. Most names that are designated by conquering peoples are, well, odd. For instance, when the conquistadores landed on the coast of Central America, they asked the locals what the name of the place was, and were told "Yucatan," which means "I don't understand your language." But the name stuck. However that may be, it is likely that, like most people's names for themselves, "Iceni" (or however it was pronounced) would carry the semantic weight of "the people" (and by extension, anyone else would be "the aliens"). See, what people MEAN is the point here. When a group identifies itself as distinct from other groups - whether by language, practice, clothing, diet, genotype, or whatever other characteristic they choose - the name they select for their group is effectively irrelevant. So, "Iceni" is Roman-ish for "Those guys there." It might have been the name "those guys there" used for a particular brook, or valley, or monument, or leading family. Sorry, you have asked an unanswerable question, unless you have a time machine about the place.
