The Angles (Latin: Angli) were originally a Baltic Germanic tribe who moved to north-western Germany and became allied to large numbers of the Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, Wends and Franks, who all then migrated to England after the withdrawal of Roman troops from the province of Britannia. The Angles gave their name to the languages spoken by all these groups (englisc) and to the country they occupied (england, the Land of the Angles).

It is a common misconception that only Angles and Saxons migrated to England, but many other Germanic groups were equally represented.
