What Does The Name Breton Mean?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    If a person is known with the name of Breton you can call him Brett also as his name is a variant of the word Brett. The meaning you can figure out from the word is a person who is the inhabitant of Brittany or Britain.
         
    The word can trace its origin in the Middle English where the word was used as an ethnic name for the inhabitants of France and Britain. It can further trace its origin in the Latin language and originally it is this language that all the variants can trace their origin.
           
    Though the variant Brett is often used as a name but Breton is seldom used as such and the most common use of the word is being done as a surname. When it comes to the US, the word is among the most popular surnames in the country.
