Etymology

Ultimately related to the plural noun Engle (“the English,” originally “the Angles”), possibly from an unattested singular form *Angul or *Angel, related to Angel (“Anglia”), the Angles' original homeland in continental Europe, or else from a root common to all these terms. Similar prefixes exist for other peoples, in words like Wendelsǣ (“the Mediterranean,” literally “the Vandal-sea”) and Swēoland (“Sweden,” literally “Swede-land”).
