Armorican

/ɑːrməˈrɪkən/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the ancient Roman region of Armorica or its inhabitants, particularly the Celtic peoples of Brittany.

Etymology

From 'Armorica' plus the English suffix '-an,' creating a demonym or adjective for people and things from that region.

Kelly Says

The Armorican people resisted both Roman and later French cultural assimilation for centuries—they kept their own language (modern Breton) and traditions, making them one of history's most culturally resilient populations.
