"Traditional French name"
The name Breton is commonly a male name from the "French" origin.
Breton is the French noun and adjective for a native of Brittany, from Old French breton, from Latin Britto. The same word is recorded as a surname in England and France, and the given name, which first appears in US birth records in 1959, corresponds to that surname rather than to a saint or a literary figure. It is a separate name from the similar-sounding Brenton and Britton.
The pronunciation of Breton is BRET-un.
