C4, Project Page Feedback Known Problems. Except in Cornwall , the vast majority of place-names in England are easily etymologised as Old English or Old Norse , due to later Viking influence , demonstrating the dominance of English across post-Roman England. This has traditionally been seen as evidence for a cataclysmic cultural and demographic shift at the end of the Roman period, in which not only the Brittonic and Latin languages, but also Brittonic and Latin place-names, and even Brittonic- and Latin-speakers, were swept away.
In recent decades, research on Celtic toponymy , driven by the development of Celtic studies and particularly by Andrew Breeze and Richard Coates , has complicated this picture: more names in England and southern Scotland have Brittonic, or occasionally Latin, etymologies than was once thought. Likewise, some entirely Old English names explicitly point to Roman structures, usually using Latin loan-words, or to the presence of Brittonic-speakers. Names like Wickham clearly denoted the kind of Roman settlement known in Latin as a vicus , and others end in elements denoting Roman features, such as -caster , denoting castra 'forts'.
In the last decade, however, scholars have stressed that Welsh and Cornish place-names from the Roman period seem no more likely to survive than Roman names in England: 'clearly name loss was a Romano-British phenomenon, not just one associated with Anglo-Saxon incomers'. Thus place-names are important for showing the swift spread of English across England, and also provide important glimpses into details of the history of Brittonic and Latin in the region.
