Paladin is an archaic term, (taken from the Italian palatinus, meaning "Belonging to the palace") and is used to describe a Knight Errant, or the Champion of any Sovereign. Depending on the legend you choose, Paladin (a male) was also the name of Merlin The Wise's most favoured Assistant/servant. As for the rest, I shudder to think!
Hope this helps.

ps - The Druid is more connected with Paganism that with Celtic religion, at least that's what I've gathered.
