The Difference Between Britain and Great Britain

Britain is the landmass that includes England, Wales and Scotland. But I think that it's called Great Britain. It was the French who called it Great Britain. Maybe it's French because you've got Breton which is what we call Brittany. And then Gromboutin which is Big Brittany. The little one and the big one. So why is Great Britain called Great instead of Big Britain or large Britain? No, that's not even the question. I'm playing Britain versus Great Britain.
