Vaguely. And calling them "celts" is the historical community equivalent of saying "emacs is the one true editor".
The origin is all a bit of mystery but it appears to be From c16 French and was adopted over time in the UK and then copied by the US. Lots of parts of the world have different dates (Spain, Mexico its Dec 28th) - historically Rome celebrated a similar event very late March (Hilaria) and the end of Holi in India is also the end of March.
Bizarrely enough all this came up in the localisation of at least one Gnome program
