Yes, it's to some degree overlapping, but then there's the matter of naming. For example, as noted in https://twitter.com/Dataracer117/status/1607649036269649920 that I just saw, the elves are traditionally Germanic creatures (and got popularized in modern fantasy by Tolkien, along with dwarves and orcs) and in the Witcher they have Irish names and Irish connections. (Nothing "Polish" about them too, just like with almost everything else.)
