The endonym '''''girṭeʒ''''' comes from '''''gir''''' "Celabrian" (< PIE ''*wiHrós'' "man, warrior") + '''''ṭeʒ''''' "language" (< PIE ''*dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s'' "tongue"). The formal language is known as '''''bonṭeʒ''''' [ˈbontʼɛd͡z], from '''''bon''''' "clear, eloquent" (< PIE ''*bʰeh₂-'' "to shine; to speak"). The classical language is known as '''''akrăṭeʒ''''' [ˈakʰɾətʼɛd͡z] (Classical Celabrian: '''''akʰra tanci''''' [ˈakʰɾa ˈtant͡si]), from '''''akr''''' "precise" (< PIE ''*h₂ḱrós'' "sharp"). The colloquial language is known as '''''łødṭeʒ''''' [ˈɫœtʼːɛd͡z], from '''''łød''''' "masses, common folk" (< PIE ''*h₁léwdʰis'' "people").
