The term Walloon is derived from * walha, a Proto-Germanic term used to refer to Celtic and Latin speakers.

The words Walloon and Wallons can be seen in the book of Charles White, The Belgic revolution ( 1835 ): " The restless Wallons, with that adventurous daring which is their historical characteristic, abandoned their occupations, and eagerly seizing the pike and the musket marched towards the center of the commotion .".

In German it is however generally Wallonenland: Le païs de Valons, Belgolalia, Wallonenland, in " Le Grand Dictionnaire Royal " Augsbourg, 1767 ; The name of the churches ' consecration is in Touraine assemblées, in Bretagne pardons, in the North Departments sometimes kermesses, sometimes as in the Walloon country, ducasses ( from dedicatio ) In English, it is Walloon country ( see further James Shaw ).

The heartland of Walloon culture is the Meuse and Sambre valleys, Charleroi, Dinant, Namur ( the regional capital ), Huy, Verviers, and Liège.

The Walloon language is an element of Walloon identity.

A conflicting explanation is that Wall Street was named after Walloons -- possibly a Dutch abbreviation for Walloon being Waal.

the Bishopric of Liège, the Romance Flanders ( i. e. Cambrai, Lille, Tournai ), the French-speaking part of Brabant around Nivelles and, Namur, where Walloon is traditionally spoken ), the region is Germanic with Dutch and Luxembourgish being the dominant languages, although French has historically played an important role as it still does in Luxembourg.
