The Dardani were an ancient Indo-European tribe that lived in Dardania and was likely of mixed Illyrian-Thracian descent. They are sometimes referred to as a Celtic tribe as well.
The word "dardan" appears to be found in the toponymy of both the Illyrians (Dardi, Dardani) and the Thracians (Dardanos, Darda-para) and it has been suggested to be related to the modern Albanian word dardha (meaning 'a pear').
