The original British were Celtic, and lived in Britain for thousands of years.

Saxons from Germany and Denmark invaded Britain, and these are the people most British people are descended from.

Because of the British Empire, many different people from all over the world have come to Britain, and so being British can mean many different things. Countries that many British people originally come from are Jamaica, Pakistan, Ireland, Nigeria, China and many others.
