My point is that the islands were both called British long before the term was applied to the English, Welsh and Scottish peoples. I fully accept that the term "British Isles" is now value-laden to some people.
No, Ptolemy called them that, and then later called them Iouernia and Albion. Then Hibernia for Ireland, at least from the Romans. But they may have been based on local terminology. So he changed how he referred to them later which was possibly based on new knowledge.
