| {"id":"england.c-4","content":"Toponymy\nSee also: Toponymy of England\nThe name \"England\" is derived from the Old English name Englaland, which means \"land of the Angles\".[16] The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes that settled in Great Britain during the Early Middle Ages. They came from the Angeln region of what is now the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.[17] The earliest recorded use of the term, as \"Engla londe\", is in the late-ninth-century translation into Old English of Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People. The term was then used to mean \"the land inhabited by the English\", and it included English people in what is now south-east Scotland but was then part of the English kingdom of Northumbria. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle recorded that the Domesday Book of 1086 covered the whole of England, meaning the English kingdom, but a few years later the Chronicle stated that King Malcolm III went \"out of Scotlande into Lothian in Englaland\", thus using it in the more ancient sense.[18]","order_int":4,"metadata":{"splitter_name":"RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter","length":224,"section_id":"england","section":{}}} |
