Origins
Of Germanic origin, but the exact source is unclear: * From Proto-West Germanic *angī (“narrow”), as in the narrow waters of the area, or * From Proto-Germanic *angulaz (“hook”), either referring to the shape of the isle or the Angles as a fishing people. Folk etymology (according to the Gesta Danorum) drew it from the Nordic hero Angul, whose name was supposedly given to the Angles and his brother Dan's to the Danes. More at Anglia.
