Britain (place name)

This is a 1750 map of the islands of Britain and Ireland produced by cartographer Didier Robert de Vaugondy. It is titled and labeled in Latin.
“Brittanicae Insulae” by Didier Robert de Vaugondy, 1750

The name Britain originates from the Common Brittonic term *Pritanī and is one of the oldest known names for Great Britain, an island off the north-western coast of continental Europe. The terms Briton and British, similarly derived, refer to some or all of its inhabitants and, to varying extents, those of the smaller islands in the vicinity. "British Isles" is the only ancient name for these islands to survive in general usage.
