Hi minaminamina,
The name "England" is derived from "Engla-lond" or "land of the Angles".
"Angles (German: Angeln, Old English: Englas, Latin: Angli) were of
the Ynglinga_saga descended from Yngvi and a Germanic people who
migrated from present-day continental Germany (which was formerly
Danish in recent times) to Britain in the 5th century along with the
Frisians, Saxons and Jutes. That land was later called Engla-lond (in
Old English "Land of the Angles"), thus England. They founded
Northumbria, East Anglia, and Mercia. Thanks to the major influence of
the Angles, the people of England are also known as Anglo-Saxons, and,
of course English. A region of the United Kingdom is known by the name
East Anglia."
The Free Dictionary: Angles
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Angles
"...an Englishman in the 19th century is different than an Englishman
two thousand years before. The original inhabitants of Britain at the
time of the Roman conquest of Britain by Caesar were Celtic tribes
speaking a Celtic/Gaelic language, then became Latinized/Romanized. In
the ensuing centuries, Germanic tribes, the Angles and Saxons invaded
Roman Britain and brought a totally new language, culture, and even
race. These Germanic settlers/invaders even gave a new name to the new
nation, England, land of the Angles."
