The name Britain is derived from the Latin name Britannia, via the Old French Bretaigne. Brittannia or Britannia was the name used by the Romans from the 1st century BC. Following the Roman conquest of AD 43, it came to be used for the Roman province, which happened to be restricted to the island of Great Britain. Because of this, Brittannia was increasingly used for Great Britain in particular, which had formerly been known as Albion. The form with single t, Britannia, is secondary, but can be traced to the Roman period.
