People who are citizens of Britain, particularly England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
From Old English 'Bryt' (the Britons) and Celtic roots; the name evolved from the Roman word 'Britanni' for the indigenous Celtic people of the British Isles. The Romans encountered these people when they invaded around 55 BCE.
The term 'Britons' originally described Celtic inhabitants that the Romans encountered, but over centuries it came to describe everyone living in the British Isles regardless of ethnicity—making it one of history's most successful rebranding campaigns of an entire population!
