Update (28/10/2019): you might notice that they are located in the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire and their language is poor.

Irish and Anglosaxons are interacting with the Byzantines before the Norman Invasion of Britain in 1066.

Of note is 33% where the names Etain and Nicetas both contain the Ancient greek letter eta (H). Etain would therefor become Hin. Hin is a Japanese girl's name meaning 'beach' Implying interaction by Byzantine-Irish with Japan around the same time Marco-polo ventured east in 1271 (if not before hand).

Oddly Etain is in the pre-minoan form Kutar-kun. Kuta is a cloth sash robe worn by eastern priests. -kun is a japanese suffix. We are faced with the reality that a Japanese (Buddist?) priest migrates west, and an Irish girl's name is descended from that Japanese Priest. And then when the ancient greek eta evolves into H providing us with Hin, Hin migrates east and washes up on a Japanese Beach.

At the Fall of the Byzantine Empire they disperse to the Lombard region in Italy and Kievan Rus to the north of the Black Sea.
