What we call the 'Germanic' tribes were a mix of Northern Saxony (Germany), Southern Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
The Goths of southern Sweden, closely related to the Vandals and Gepids, went East into Southern Russia, Ukraine, Estonia, Moldova, Romania etc and all the way into Italy, Iberia, Britain and Ireland. They fought against the Roman empire and helped defeat it.
The Jutes, Frisians and Angles ( Danish) the Goths ( Swedish) and the Viking Norsemen ( Norwegians) and Saxons (Northern Germanic), were all the Germanic tribes, who also mixed together, as did the Gauls of central Europe.
They were all North Western Europeans from Northern and Western Europe which all mixed together for centuries, making North Western Europeans related genetically.
In Latin, Celta came in turn from Herodotus's word for the Gauls, Keltoi. The Romans used Celtae to refer to continental Gauls, but apparently not to Insular Celts. The latter are divided linguistically into Goidels and Brythons.

@ The small amount of 0.02% of Neanderthal DNA in Africans today, are probably from recent migrations or colonisations of more recent times.
Neanderthals evolved in Europe at least 200,000 - 300,000 years ago.
Neanderthals who were European were first, then came another European, Cro-Magnon, they lived alongside each other for 10,000 years, they did not interbreed.
There wasn’t just a single group of humans around in Africa when they expanded out 100,000 years ago.
A mysterious "ghost population" of now-extinct ancient human-like creatures may have interbred with early humans living in West Africa, scientists say. Researchers suggest DNA from this group makes up between 2% and 19% of modern West Africans' genetic ancestry, that no other people on the planet has this 'ghost' DNA.
