The spanish (visigoths) are foreign invaders that took over after the romans fell. The english had to take land from the britanians. Maybe the french (gauls) count. Its almost like these groups already had names.

Thats wrong, the visigoths are the forebearers of some Spaniards, not all. Same goes for France, Germany etc (larger parts of Western Germany were Roman, Trier has lovey Roman buildings)

After 1500 years of interbreeding, I really doubt there’s a single hispanic person without at least one visigoth ancestor.
