Information
has glosseng: The name Britain comes from the Latin word Britannia. In Old French the word was Bretaigne which became Bretagne in Modern French and Bretayne, Breteyne in Middle English. The French word replaced the Old English words, Breoton, Breoten, Bryten, Breten, Breoton-lond and Breten-lond.
has glosseng: The name Britain is derived from the Latin name Britannia (earlier Brittannia), via Old French Bretaigne (whence also Modern French Bretagne) and Middle English Bretayne, Breteyne. The French form replaced Old English Breoton, Breoten, Bryten, Breten (also Breoton-lond, Breten-lond). The Latin term derives from the Greek forms Prettanike or Brettaniai, which originally referred to a collection of islands with individual names, including Albion, the oldest known name for Great Britain (see British Isles). By the 1st century BC Britannia was often used to refer to Great Britain specifically. This transference was further solidified by the Roman conquest and the subsequent establishment of the Roman province of Britannia, which eventually came to encompass the part of the island south of Caledonia (roughly, Scotland).
