Dauvit Broun sets out the problems with the various terms used to describe the Cumbric language and its speakers. The people seem to have called themselves "*Cumbri" the same way that the Welsh called themselves "Cymry" (most likely from reconstructed Brittonic "*kom-brogī" meaning "fellow countrymen"). The Welsh and the Cumbric-speaking people of what are now southern Scotland and northern England probably felt they were actually one ethnic group. Old Irish speakers called them "Britons", "Bretnach", or "Bretain". The Norse called them "Brettar". In Latin, the terms "Cymry" and "Cumbri" were Latinised as Cambria and Cumbria respectively. In Medieval Latin, the English term Welsh became "Wallenses" ("of Wales"), while the term "Cumbrenses" referred to Cumbrians ("of Cumbria"). However, in Scots, a Cumbric speaker seems to have been called "Wallace" – from the Scots "Wallis/Wellis" "Welsh".
