Important Anglian centres in Bernicia bear names of British origin, or are known by British names elsewhere: Bamburgh is called Din Guaire in the Historia Brittonum; Dunbar (where Saint Wilfrid was once imprisoned) represents Dinbaer; and the name of Coldingham is given by Bede as Coludi urbs ("town of Colud"), where Colud seems to represent the British form, possibly for the hill-fort of St Abb's Head.
Algúns centros anglos importantes de Bernicia levan nomes de orixe britoa ou son coñecidos por nomes britóns noutros lugares: Bamburgh chámase Din Guaire na Historia Brittonum; Dunbar (onde estivo preso San Wilfrid) representa Dinbaer; e o nome de Coldingham aparece en Beda como Coludi urbs ("Cidade de Colud"), onde parece que Colud representa a forma britoa, posibelmente da fortaleza de St Abb's Head.
