Talk:List of Roman place names in Britain

message: Not sure about Anglia. I thought Anglia was named after the Angles, a tribe that arrived from mainland Europe during and after the Roman decline in England.

:Anglia                 - England

:These are not Roman placenames - they are medieval Latin. Enchanter
::Right. There is a confusion at the heart of this article between Roman names and Latin names. Just about everywhere in Britain has a Latin name (as used in medieval administration and by the Catholic Church), but only a few of them correspond to the names used in Roman Britain: the majority are latinizations of later Anglo-Saxon and even Welsh names. "Cambria", for example, is not a name that was ever used by the Romans. What was to become "Wales" after the Anglo-Saxon invasions was simply a part of Britannia Prima. Like "Cumbria" it is a post-Empire latinization of a word meaning "compatriots" - what the indigenous people came to call themselves in contradistinction to the incoming Germanic settlers. -- Picapica 21:27, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: Eh, I'm in favor of a merge to List of Latin placenames in Britain. No reason not to provide them and no reason can't just add another column to the list for the modern names. — LlywelynII 10:23, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think this can be merged with List of Latin place names in Britain, providing that the sourced information is kept intact. That page needs a bit of a cleanup too though.BananaBork (talk) 23:22, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Good point. Perhaps this would be better called a list of Latin place names. Plus, I really think that this page should be moved to a more accurate name, e.g. List of Latin place names in northern European islands. Any more concise suggestions would be welcome.

replies: text: As far as I can see there aren't currently any Icelandic or Faeroese names listed. I've amended the intro. rossb 15:34, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: This would appear to be a list of Roman place names in England. The only place in Scotland mentioned is Trimontium. Perhaps it should be renamed so as not to overlap with the List of Latin place names in Britain.
