The Duan (Simplified Chinese character: 段, Traditional Chinese character: 段, pinyin Duàn) was a pre-state tribe of Xianbei ethnicity during the era of Sixteen Kingdoms in China. The Duan adopted the Han Chinese family name Duan due to yet unknown reason. Duan Wuwuchen was given in 303 a hereditary title— the "Duke of Liaoxi" —by the Jin Dynasty.

Picts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4952 words)
The Picts were a confederation of tribes in central and northern Scotland from Roman times until the 10th century.
They were the descendants of the Caledonii and other tribes named by Roman historians or found on the map of Ptolemy.
The means by which the Pictish confederation formed in Late Antiquity from a number of tribes are as obscure as the processes which created the Franks, the Alamanni and similar confederations in Germany.
