Cumberland ceased to exist as part of the UK county reforms in the 1974 and became part of Cumbria. Present day Cumbria was formed as part of a UK wide re-organisation of counties. It encompasses the old counties of Cumberland, Westmorland and the North West section of Lancashire. The original name Cumberland (Cumber Land) means the land of the Cumber in the tongue of the English and described the lands inhabited by the British. The British gave themselves the name Combrogi (cives in Latin) which meant 'Fellow Countrymen'. More modern forms of the name are Cymry in welsh or Cumber in English. CumberLand was used to describe the land of Northern Reged from the sixth century to almost the present day.
