When we read about English history, we learn that the Saxons invaded after the Romans departed. If that is so, why isn’t the country called Saxonland?
I was wondering about something. When we read about English history, we learn that the Saxons invaded after the Romans departed. If that is so, why isn’t the country called Saxonland?
That's an interesting question! The name "England" actually comes from the Old English word "Englaland," which means "land of the Angles." The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes that invaded around the same time as the Saxons. Over time, the names "England" and "English" have stuck, even though the country has been shaped by many different peoples and cultures.
