The medieval form of the name was "Penn in Selwood", where ''pen'' (Brittonic for "head") probably referred to a hill and ''Selwood'' was the Selwood Forest which once surrounded the area. Ford associated nearby Ilchester with the 〔Nennius (). Theodor Mommsen (). ''Historia Brittonum'', VI. Composed after 830. Hosted at Latin Wikisource.〕 listed among the 28 cities of Britain by the ''History of the Britons'' on the basis that it should be read as an Old Welsh form of 'Penselwood'〔Ford, David Nash. "(The 28 Cities of Britain )" at Britannia. 2000.〕 (''coit'' being Welsh for "forest"), although others view it as three separate words: Pensa ''or'' Coyt. Bishop Ussher believed the listing referred to Exeter instead.〔Newman, John Henry & al. (''Lives of the English Saints: St. German, Bishop of Auxerre'', Ch. X: "Britain in 429, A. D.", p. 92. ) James Toovey (London), 1844.〕
