Wales, from Cymry, Cymric. That's like asking where Anglo comes from in the term Anglo French. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.0.196.219 (talk) 04:17, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Evidence for usage?
As a medieval historian in the Uk I was surprised to see the claim that Cambro-Norman was a standard way of referring to Norman lords in Wales. The sources cited are all Irish histories. It seems to me that the usual term adopted for Wkipedia should be that of the country in question, in this case Anglo-Norman is the term used in Wales.Martinlc (talk) 20:36, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Well referring to all the people from various areas, such as Brittany, Flanders, Anjou, Maine, Picardy etc. that invaded Britain as "Normans" doesn't get a batted eye. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.0.196.219 (talk) 04:21, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Hertfordshire
I think you will find this is nowhere near the Welsh Marches, North of London on my map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgdavies (talk • contribs) 12:48, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

I assume they meant herefordshire — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.0.196.219 (talk) 04:22, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Costello
"Probably the best known Cambro-Norman surname, also called Hiberno-Norman, is Costello (see also Gilbert de Angulo)"

Really? I can think of only 3 Famous people outside of Ireland named Costello and none of their ancestors actually had that name. Elvis (Declan MacManus) the English musician, Lou (Cristillo) the Italian American comedian and Frank (Castiglia) the Italian born Mafia don. I would think something like FitzGerald or Burke might be a little more well known. That should probably be removed from the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.0.196.219 (talk) 04:35, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
