Place names in Cumbria

The Cumbric language was spoken in Cumbria and elsewhere in Hen Ogledd, The Old North up until the Early Middle Ages and some place names in Cumbria and surrounding counties have a Brythonic origin. * Ketland. The first element is possibly equivalent to Welsh ''coed'', "forest, wood". * Lambert Ladd. Compare Lampert below. *Lamplugh. The second element '-plugh' has been explained as equivalent to Welsh ''plwyf'' "parish", or ''blwch'' "bare". The historic name ''Llan Lleenawc'' may have been in this region and named after either ''Laenauc'', a father of ''Guallauc'', or ''*Lennóc'', a saint name.


Place-names in areas bordering Cumbria

* Lampert, Northumberland, also spelt Lampart. The second element has been explained as an equivalent of Welsh ''perth'', "hedge, thicket". In addition, ''*landā-'', the earlier Brittonic word ancestral to ''llan'' occurs in Vindolanda, the name of a Roman fort.


Place names in Scotland

Some place names in Scotland have Pictish language, Pictish and Cumbric elements such as Aber and Inver as place-name elements, ''aber-'' and (also spelled ''lum-'', ''lon-'' and ''lin-'') that are cognate with those in other Brittonic languages. The Gaelic form ''lann'' ("enclosure, churchyard") also occurs, and its existence in Pictland may represent adoption into Scottish Gaelic, Gaelic of the Pictish usage.


Places named after saints

* Lhanbryde, Moray (Scottish Gaelic, Gaelic: ''Lann Brìghde''). Brigid of Kildare, Saint Bride. Lamanbride in 1215; the modern Welsh-like spelling is probably a 19th-century innovation) * Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire (Gaelic: ''Lann Fhìonain''), Saint Fhìonain. * Lumphinnans Fife. Its etymology is identical to Lumphinnans above, with which it shares a Gaelic name.


Places with other religious connections

* Landis, Kirkcudbrightshire. Uncertain; may be of Scots language, Scots origin. * Lincluden, Kirkcudbrightshire. The location of an abbey. The second part of the name refers to the nearby Cluden Water. The first part could also be ''lïnn'', "pool". * Lindores, Fife (Gaelic: ''Lann Doras''). An Lindores Abbey, abbey is located here. The name may mean "church at the pass". * Longannet, Fife (Gaelic: ''Lann na H-Annaide''). Occupied by a now-decommissioned power station. The name probably meant "former church enclosure".


Places with no known religious connections

* Conland, Fife. Possibly meaning "dog-enclosure" (G ''conlann'', W ''cwnllan'') or "grouping of enclosures" (G ''cu-lann''). * Drumdratland, Fife. Exact etymology unclear, but the first element is likely ''druim'', "a ridge". * Falkland, Fife, Falkland, Fife. The first element in the name is unclear. * Lumquhat, Fife. The name may mean "enclosure of the wild-cats". * Lynchat, Inverness-shire. Meaning "wildcat's enclosure". * Pentland Hills, Pentland, Midlothian. The first element may be ''pen'' ("head", "top") or ''pant'' ("hollow"). * Pouterlampert, near Castleton, Scottish Borders, Castleton, Scottish Borders. The ''-lampert'' part of the name may share an etymology with the aforementioned Lampart in Northumberland. The first part of the name is ''*polter'', an obscure Common Brittonic, Brittonic suffix.


In fiction

*The long running United States, American soap opera ''One Life to Live'' is set in fictional Llanview, Pennsylvania, set just outside the city of Philadelphia.
