Armorica or Aremorica is the name given in ancient times to the part of Gaul between the Seine and the Loire that includes the Brittany Peninsula, extending inland to an indeterminate point and down the Atlantic Coast.The name Armorica is a Latinized form of the Gaulish toponym Aremorica, which literally means 'place in front of the sea'. It is formed with the prefix are- attached to -mori- and the feminine suffix -cā, denoting the localization . The inhabitants of the region were called Aremorici , formed with the stem are-mori- extended by the determinative suffix -cos. It is glossed by the Latin antemarini in Endlicher's Glossary. The Slavs use a similar formation, Po-mor-jane , to designate the inhabitants of Pomerania. The Latin adjective Armoricani was an administrative term designating in particular a sector of the Roman defence line in Gaul in Late Antiquity, the Tractus Armoricani .
