The name SHELTA may have Ancient Celtic origins.
From the name of a private or secret language spoken by Irish Travellers (a group also known as the Pavee). It means "a voice that moves" in Shelta ("moves" in the sense of being emotional, endearing and affectionate) and some modern Celticists think it comes from the Irish Gaelic word siúlta which means "walking" (the "s" is pronounced "sh" and the diphthong is as much like a slurred schwa sound).
