The Angles ((ラテン語:Anglii)) were one of the main Germanic peoples who settled in Britain in the post-Roman period. They founded several of the kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon England, and their name is the root of the name ''England''. The name comes from the district of Angeln, an area located on the Baltic shore of what is now Schleswig-Holstein, the most northern state of Germany.
==Name==

The name of the Angles was first recorded in Latinised form, as ''Anglii'', in the ''Germania'' of Tacitus. It is thought to derive from the name of the area they originally inhabited: ''Angeln'' in modern German, ''Angel'' in Danish. This name has been hypothesised to originate from the Germanic root for "narrow" (compare German and Dutch ''eng'' = "narrow"), meaning "the Narrow ()", i.e. the Schlei estuary; the root would be angh, "tight". Another theory is that the name meant "hook", as in angling for fish; Julius Pokorny, a major Indo-European linguist, derives it from
*ang-, "bend" (see ankle).
Gregory the Great in an epistle simplified the Latinised name ''Anglii'' to ''Angli'', the latter form developing into the preferred form of the word. The country remained ''Anglia'' in Latin. Alfred the Great's translation of Orosius' history of the world uses ''Angelcynn'' (-kin) to describe England and the English people; Bede used ''Angelfolc'' (-folk); there are also such forms as ''Engel'', ''Englan'' (the people), ''Englaland'', and ''Englisc'', all showing i-mutation.
