Esboniadau o’r termau Saesneg.

 

Great Britain

Great Britain is the largest island in Europe. "Great Britain" is the collective name for the three countries of England, Scotland and Wales. It also includes the small adjacent islands but it does not include the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

 

The United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is made up of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The official name "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" came into use in 1922 after the constitution of the Irish Free State (1922-1937), the former name of the Republic of Ireland.  Therefore, the United Kingdom of Great Britain, used to indicate the political union of England, Scotland and Wales, was expanded, in the 20th century, to include Northern Ireland: the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" as it now appears on passports.

 

The British Islands

The expression "British Islands" has been defined in the Interpretation Act 1978 as meaning the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The Republic of Ireland is not included in this definition.

 

The British Isles

The expression "British Isles" is geographical and not political. They are a group of islands off the northwest coast of Europe consisting of Great Britain, the whole of Ireland, the Orkney and Shetland Islands, the Isle of Man, the Inner and Outer Hebrides, the Isle of Wight, the Scilly Islands, Lundy Island, the Channel Islands and many other smaller islands

 

Tarddiad yr enw “Great Britain”

There are in fact two Britains: the island of Britain in the British Isles and the land of Britain in France. In French these are known as Grande Bretagne and Bretagne, in English as Great Britain and Brittany. The word "Great" in this context has its old meaning of "big" as in "she was great with child" or "Greater London"…  "Bretayne the grete" was used by chroniclers as early as 1338, but it was not used officially until King James I proclaimed himself "King of Great Britain" on 20 October 1604 to avoid the more cumbersome title "King of England and Scotland".

Ia, ran'ny - oes yna wahaniaeth gweleidyddol rhwng Prydain, Prydain Fawr, gwledydd Prydain, y Deyrnas Unedig/Gyfunol?? Mae'r rhestr wledydd sydd gan y cyngor yn fy mhentre i yn yr Eidal yn gwahaniaethau rhwng Prydain Fawr a'r Deyrnas Unedig - ydi'r naill yn cynnwys Gogledd Iwerddon a'r llall ddim? Fel arfer does fawr o ots mae'n siwr gan mai defnydd llac ydi o.

UK =  DG / DU ?

Ar un o’m traethodau y bu disgwyl i mi i’w cynhyrchu wrth fynd drwy’r brifysgol
ryw ddeugain mlynedd yn ôl, (ond na fedraf feddwl am ei ailgylchu drwy’r
fasged bapur hyd eto) mae gen i gofnod balch o lawysgrif un darlithydd tra
enwog a pharchus, sy’n parhau i belydru gyda phendantrwydd inc arholiadol o
goch, i fynnu nad cymwys defnyddio’r ymadrodd Teyrnas Gyfunol fel term
cyfystyr â Phrydain:  “Nid Unedig pob Cyfuniad: dydyw teyrnas wedi ei
chyfuno o is-ddarnau anghymharus ddim o reidrwydd yn unfrydol unedig!”
Meddylied!  Beth bynnag, pam ddim defnyddio ‘Prydain' ym mhob achlysur, a
rhoi diwedd ar yr hen gân acronymllyd yma?

Weithiau, mae'r acronym i fod yn cynnwys 'a Gogledd Iwerddon' hefyd.
