What country is Britain?

Answer 1

Britain is a country.

Answer 2

One theory is:

The Hebrew word for 'covenant' is brit [b'rith]. And the word for 'covenant man,' or 'covenant people,' would therefore sound, in English word order, Brit-ish (the word ish means 'man' in Hebrew, and it is also an English suffix on nouns and adjectives).

Another theory is:

The Celtic word Brettas. It's significant that the Celtic Brettas referred to the Britons, who were inhabitants of England before the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons.

There are supposedly strong similarities between English and Hebrew. Which might sugguest some kind of contact between the two. Maybe the British are descended from a Hebrew tribe (only 1 or 2 of the 12 tribes were jewish). There is also supposed to be a link between the Celtic and Hebrew people. One of the 12 tribes of Israel (the hebrews) is called Dan, which could be where danish comes from. I don't think anyone can say for sure what Britain means, you can interpret it i different ways.

Answer 3

A Briton is a British person.
