Anglo-Saxons were Germanic tribes who arrived in England in the 4th century AD. 'Anglo' is a late Latin term for 'English'. The Anglos are descended from the Germanic people the Angles. The Saxons are descended from several ancient Germanic tribes and are not from the state of Saxony in Germany, as populary believed. Saxony received it's name from being ruled by the Saxon dynasty. The Anglos, The Saxons and the Celts who were already inhabiting England in smaller numbers, along with the later arriving Normans, are the ancestors of the modern ethnic British. Anglo-Saxons created the English language circa the 6th century AD.
