Funny I had just changed that Bretagne doesn t mean Little Britain afaik but it was called that by the British settlers in the early middle ages Or it might be that those British used a term meaning Little Britain which the French then adopted and which then changed to Bretagne over time I wouldn t be surprised After all we re talking 1500 years ago and words can change a lot over such a long time Come to think of it it s quite surprising that the words Britain and Bretagne are still so much alike
