Bretanya f

1. Brittany (region of northwest France)
2. (historical) Brittania (Great Britain and Brittany)

The relationship between Great Britain and Brittany (“Little Britain”) is clearer in Catalan than in English, at the cost of lacking a one word synonym for Great Britain. To refer to Roman Britain in Catalan, a later reborrowing from the same Latin origin, Britània, is used.

• Gran Bretanya (“Great Britain”)

• Britània (“Roman Britain”)
