"Wales" is a name given to that portion of Britain that the Anglo-Saxons could not conquer in which the remaining native Britons lived. Wales - the land of the native Britons - had been inhabited by the ancestors of the Welsh people for about 10,000 years (since the end of the last Ice Age). The term "Wales" only began being used when the Anglo Saxons (the English) turned up and invaded Britain. That happened from about 449AD onwards so that is when "Wales" started, as a term of reference.
The conditions allowed it. The Roman's with their central government and power had long gone. They were replaced by the indiginous Britons who were highly decentralised. Angles and Saxons had been trading with Briton and in some parts were invited to settle. The Britons were seen as an easy target.
The Celts or Britons were the people who lived in Britain before the Normans, Anglo-Saxons or Romans invaded; and they are still there.
