12 4. What is the origin of different names? Britain: the Brython
布立吞人（从前居住在不列颠的凯尔特人）. (BC 300 from Europe) England: Angla-land （安恩拉之地） (AD 5th century from northwest of Europe) The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: early 1920’s The present form: from 1927 由于历史和民族等原因，由英格兰、北爱尔兰、威尔士、苏格兰四国组成联合王国，首都仍在英格兰首都伦敦，主体还是英格兰，所以习惯上称英国（本来英国专指英格兰England）。英伦三岛是指英格兰，苏格兰和威尔士，由于北爱尔兰位于爱尔兰岛，所以不包括在内。 英国现在的正式全称是“大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国” 不过英格兰与苏格兰合并1707年时候成立的是“大不列颠王国”，吞并爱尔兰后1800年改的是“大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国”（没有“北”）1922年之后才是今天这个名字 “大英帝国”和“大不列颠帝国”等可以说是通俗的叫法，但和包括“英国”在内的这个称呼，都有不科学的地方 大不列颠，我们已经知道他只是今天英国的一部分（包括英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士）而已。而“英”是指英格兰，也只是一部分。而且严格说，英国是个“王”国也非“帝”国。 所以，其他国家更多习惯称英国为“联合王国”，英国的简写也习惯是UK(United Kingdom联合王国） The United Kingdom——The Land
