Despite the extinction of the kingdom by 1091, the name Gwent remained in use for the area by the Welsh throughout this period and later centuries. It was traditionally divided by the forested hills of Wentwood () into Gwent Uwch-coed (beyond the wood) and Gwent Is-coed (below the wood). These terms were translated into English as Overwent and Netherwent, the entire area sometimes being known as Wentland or Gwentland.
