Helvetica
I found out that Switzerland is officially known as the Swiss Confederation, or Confoederatio Helvetica in Latin. Oh, so that is why Swiss francs are denoted as CHF.
"The Neo-Latin name Confoederatio Helvetica was introduced at the formation of the federal state in 1848. It is derived from the name of the Helvetii, a Celtic tribe living on the Swiss plateau before the Roman era." (Wikipedia)
Helvetica, the clean sans serif font, is named after a Celtic tribe.
