Britain is often a reference to Great Britain: "Although the UK government distinguishes officially between Great Britain and the United Kingdom, the former term (or simply Britain) is also widely used as a synonym for the latter." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain But to be historically accurate.... Britain comes from the Roman Provence Britannia: The Britannias was the original Latin name the Roman Empire gave to the British Isles [...]. Later, Britannia became the preferred Roman term for the island of Great Britain, and in particular the Roman province of Britain which extended north as far as Hadrian's Wall. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britannia Great Britain extends beyond Hadrian's Wall. It includes the whole England, Wales and Scotland. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain
