It was called Britannia by the Romans.
It may have been called "Angles" after a German tribe of that name setteled there in the 5th/6th Century. Then during the time of the Roman Occupation it was called Britannia. (Am not sure when but at one stage was also called Anglia - likely Angles in time morphed into Anglia)
