Anglia and England both mean land of the Angles, a Germanic people originating in the north German peninsula of Angeln

The Angles are the subject of a legend about Pope Gregory I, who happened to see a group of Angle children from Deira for sale as slaves in the Roman market.

Bede was probably Saxon descent, or an Angle as he preferred to call the Germanic invaders of Britain.

Die Angeln gibt es also nur im Plural. Wenn man einen allein meint, nennt man ihn vermutlich beim Namen (z. B. „Horst-Otto, einer von den Angeln“ oder „Brigitte vom Stamme der Angeln“ o. ä.).

: But please don't say "einer von den" - sounds like "der da drüben" (maybe even "einer dieser Fischgräten") :) "vom Stamm/vom Volk" is the best way to phrase it, IMO.
