ArchivesRe: What does the name Cambria mean/come from
in reply to a message by Hiroshi Zanretsu
I know that Cambria is a kind of white wine, but I can't remember where it comes from. I can get the information this weekend, if you stick around, but I'm sure that someone else on here will have fgured it out by then. :)

I was waiting for Merriment...
...coz "Cambria" is the Latin name for the country of Wales.
Mmmm, Sarahjeanne, I want a glass of that wine, too. :)

Merriment was sleeping...
It's to do with time differences :)
I'd love to think that people were naming their children after Wales, but I think it's more likely that the modern US Cambria < Cambrie < CAMilla/CAMeron + BREE/Brie etc (Aubrey an influence also). Isn't there a car with a similar name?
By the way, re: Heraldic Visitations, publisher is Publications of the Harleian Society (the ms are the Harleian ms), and they have been reprinted fairly recently (1996) - hth

Brie...
"Isn't Brie a a kind of cheese?"
It's also the name of a region in northern France, from which the cheese takes its name.
The breed of dog called the "briard" also takes its name from this region.
