  32.  @careytitan9097  Britain and its various spellings was a name used by the Greeks and then the Romans to describe the area and people who lived in what they called the British Isles, all of the isles. It was not a name the "British" people used themselves who were still very tribal at the time the land rule by dozens if not hundreds of tribes across the Islands all using their own names with no sense of being British at all. As you say some people from the Islands moved across the water into what later become known as France and settled there and become known as Bretons and to distinguished between that area and the Islands some people called the Islands Great Britain as it was larger but the vast majority of the population never used the term. They had no need to distinguish themselves from a place in France using a name they didn't use anyway. England was not united until the 10th century and those people were not calling themselves British. It was hundreds of years before Wales united with England and a couple of hundred years more before Scotland did and only then did the term Great Britain come into modern use when Scotland's King James became England's King and that was for legal documents etc people still did not call themselves British they were very definitely English Scottish Welsh with regions of these countries still harbouring a desire to be free of them never mind free of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. And some of those desires for freedom remain today we see it most strongly in Northern Island and Scotland but also in Wales and the last whimpers of it in Cornwall. Ask someone from any of the four countries today where they are from and they don't say British they name the country England Scotland etc. The 4 countries are very distinct with their own cultures, traditions and national dress. Britain has none of those things
