Brittany (Breizh in Breton, Bretagne in French) comes from the Latin Brittania. Before the 5th century, Brittany was part of Lyon Gaul province but people called this part : Armorica. Brittania is originally the name of the Roman province which corresponds to present-day England. When the Angles and the Saxons invaded the island of Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries, the Bretons withdrew into present-day Wales, Cornwall, Galicia, but they also landed in Armorica where they mixed with the Gallo-Romans. Armorica became Brittany at this time.
