Etymology nb en British Somaliland, from nb britisk British + nb Somaliland. The name refers to the former British protectorate in the territory of present-day Somaliland. nb britisk Britisk British is derived from nb brite Briton + nb -isk -ish. Det Norske Akademis ordbok derives nb brite from German de Brite Briton, while also comparing Old Norse Bretar (plural), English en Briton, Old English Bret and Latin la Brittō Briton, ultimately from an Old Celtic form *Britt-os of uncertain origin. The suffix nb -isk -ish continues Old Norse non -iskr, from Proto-Germanic gem-pro *-iskaz, from Proto-Indo-European ine-pro *-iskos. The second element, nb Somaliland, is based on English en Somaliland, formed from en Somali -land 1. English en Somali is from or akin to Somali so Soomaali Somali. The deeper origin of so Soomaali is uncertain; a traditional explanation connects the ethnonym with Samaale, an ancestral figure in Somali genealogical tradition, but this is not securely established.
