You asked for a list of late 8th-early 9th century Breton masculine and feminine names beginning with 'B', and masculine names beginning with a vowel. Here's what we've got. These feminine names were recorded in Brittany between the 9th and 11th century. They are all of Frankish origin [1]. Barza Bernegarda Berta Bertissa These masculine names from Brittany were recorded in the 9th century. Names of non-Breton linguistic origin (mostly Frankish or Latin) are marked with an asterisk. Note that many of these names are Latinized, regardless of their origin. Variants of the same name are listed below it, indented. The most common names in our source are noted [1].
