The Britons were the first people we know of in southern Great Britain. British is named after them. They were there during the Roman Empire. They have few decedents today and no pure bloods.

"Briton" is the standard noun that corresponds with the adjective "British". Contemporary speakers, however, often use the term "Brit".
