Etymology
The name "Breton" is derived from the Celtic word "Brython", which was used by the Romans to refer to the Celtic-speaking people of Britain. The name eventually came to be used specifically for the Celtic-speaking population of Brittany, a region in northwestern France.
Meaning
The meaning of the name "Breton" is uncertain, but it is thought to be related to the Celtic word "briga", meaning "hill" or "stronghold". This suggests that the Bretons may have originally been a hill-dwelling people.
Origin
The Bretons are descended from the Celtic-speaking people who inhabited Britain during the Iron Age. Around the 5th century CE, the Anglo-Saxons invaded Britain, forcing the Celts to flee to various parts of Europe. One group of Celts settled in Brittany, where they became known as the Bretons. The Bretons have preserved their Celtic language and culture to this day.
