Etymology:
Brittany comes from a Celtic tribe called the Britons. When the Anglo-Saxons invaded England circa 500 A.D., the Britons fled to France, to a region then named Brittany. The Britons also left their name to the British Isles, Great Britain, and the British people. Britannia is the Latin name for Great Britain.
