Cambridge comes from Cambria, the Latin version of Cymru, which is what the Welsh call themselves.
Welsh comes from the English word Wealas, which comes from a proto-Germanic word basically meaning “not us”.
The earliest Arthurian legends are Cymru stories of a great King who fought against Anglo-Saxon invaders.

TIL all that from you. I was under the impression that Arthur and Robin Hood were Norman introductions.
and what is name by which the Welsh call England?
I've watched a lot of history stuff from that area and had never heard the Welsh part... Where did you learn it?
I had a weird desire to study the Welsh. So I started with searching YouTube for someone with a speaking voice that’s tolerable. 🤓
