Information
has glosseng: Cambria is the classical name for Wales, being the Latinised form of the Welsh name Cymru (Wales). The etymology of Cymry "the Welsh", Cimbri, and Cwmry "Cumbria", improbably connected to the Biblical Gomer and the "Cimmerians" by 17th-century celticists, is now known to come from Old Welsh combrog "compatriot; Welshman", from the root *brogi "country"; "territory" (cf. Welsh, Cornish, Breton bro "territory"; "country"), itself from *mrogi (cf. Old Irish mruig, gen. mroga "country") , deriving from an old Brythonic word *com-brogi or Proto-Brythonic *kom-brogos , meaning "fellow countryman"; "compatriots", (as a result of the struggle with the Anglo-Saxons) possibly therefore related to its sister language Breton's keñvroad, keñvroiz, "comrade", "compatriot" .

has glossfra: La Cambrie est un des anciens noms du Pays de Galles (du latin , du gallois ) qui a donné ladjectif cambrien, plus utilisé en français à propos de géologie que pour désigner les habitants du pays. Il faut entendre un Pays de Galles antique cest-à-dire incluant les Cornouailles, le Wessex, et louest de la Mercie (le comté de Salop en a été détaché tardivement), jusquà la région de Cumbria. En anglais par contre, si le nom de Cambria nest plus guère utilisé que comme forme poétique, ladjectif cambrian entre couramment dans la dénomination de firmes diverses, ainsi l'ancienne compagnie aérienne Cambrian Airways.
