Etimologie (Engels)

Verwante met Old English: Ængle

In summary

Borrowed from Latin Anglus, in turn borrowed from a Germanic source (compare Old English Ængle/Engle (“Angle”)). Probably derived from the toponym Angle, related to Proto-Germanic *anguz "narrow, tight; tapering", either indicating the "narrow" water (i.e. the Schlei estuary), or the shape of the peninsula.
Folk etymology linking the word to English angel or any antecedents is demonstrably false.
