The Ancient Greek name is ultimately from a la cel - ethnonym, reconstructed as early la cel-bry - cel-pro *Pritani, perhaps from a la cel-pro *Kʷritanī, cel-pro *Kʷritenī, whence cy Prydyn Picts, mga Cruithne, mga Cruithentúaith Cruithen-túaith Picts, from la ine-pro *kʷer- to do. Pronunciation Note: only found in hexameters with a short first syllable, except for a single instance of /britt-/ in Lucretius. Sergius on Donatus testifies to /a:n/ rather than /ann/. Romance descendants seem to consistently point to /tt/.

From the 12th century the restricted sense of the term was increasingly displaced by la Wallia, a name derived from Old English, and later by la Cambria.
