To pick up on an earlier reference to Cunobelin (Cunobelinus) the king of the Catuvellauni, the name seems to have lived on in Britain past the Arthurian period and into the Anglo-Saxon conversion period.
Bede lists the brothers of the "Northumbrian" bishop St Chad (all of them have Celtic-derived names), and one of them is called Cynibil, this can hardly be other than a version of Cunobelin.
