Important Anglian centres in Bernicia bear names of British origin, or are known by British names elsewhere: Bamburgh is called Din Guaire in the Historia Brittonum; Dunbar (where Saint Wilfrid was once imprisoned) represents Dinbaer; and the name of Coldingham is given by Bede as Coludi urbs ("town of Colud"), where Colud seems to represent the British form, possibly for the hill-fort of St Abb's Head.
Mõned tähtsad anglite keskused Bernicias kannavad briti päritolu nimesid või on briti nimedega tuntud mujal: Bamburgh on Din Guaire Historia Brittonumis; Dunbar (kus Püha Wilfrid kord vangistati) esindab Dinbaeri; ja Coldinghami nimi on antud Beda poolt kui Coludi urbs ("Coludi linn"), kus Colud näib kujutavat võib-olla St Abb's Head linnamäe briti kuju.
