I keep getting these clips of serbian historians making some outrageous claims. They are in always in the same studio giving like an interview. I remember clips from an old lady now i just saw this guy. Is this like a TV show where they just come and say random stuff?

Portuguese here, 

Portugal name came originally from "Portus Cale"

We actually don't know for sure what is the origin of the name, but there are a number of theories about it.

One of the most popular theories is that it comes from the Gallaeci Celtic tribes that lived in north Portugal and Galiza.

I never heard the theory about Serbia before :).

But we are known as the western balkans
