A person from Britain or the British Isles, or relating to Britain and its people.
From Britannia (Latin name for Britain) + -an (suffix for people/places). Coined during Roman times and revived in modern English.
The term 'Britannia' comes from the Roman name for the island, and Romans depicted her as a helmeted warrior goddess with a trident—this image became so iconic it was used on British coins and is still on some today!
