Angles (German:
Angeln) were one of the
Germanic peoples who migrated from continental Germany to Brittania. That land was later called
Angelland, thus
England. Thanks to the major influence of the Angles, the people of England are also known as
Anglo-Saxons and regions of the
United Kingdom are known by names such as [East Anglia]
?.
A part of the Jutland Peninsula where the Angles originated is still called Angeln today. It is in the Bundesrepublik of Germany, Bundesland Schleswig-Holstein.
