Summary
The presence of foreign roots, components, and full names in the Etruscan nomenclature is ubiquitous from the earliest documentation. This finds a possible explanation only in the existence of continuous and prolonged contact and human mobility within the Etruscan communities, with integration of foreigners into the Etruscan society at different levels since the earliest periods.
