I believe the name gipsy come from lies they told when they arrived in europe... they said: We are christians from egipt (there were/are some chistians there)... egiptians->Gypsies A nice way to turn into welcomed guests... We still use the "cigano" gpisy word to call someone liar...

I just finished a book on the Gypsies by Isabel Fonseca, called "Bury Me Standing - The Gypsies and Their Journey". In it she states that the Gypsies were slaves in Romania for 300 years. Here is an Indian review of it: www.indiastar.com/wallia2.htmWhich adds some more information.
