Well, the land has been there for a very long time, becoming an island as a product of erosion and sea-level rise.

At some stage it was invaded/settled by the Angles, Germanic tribes of people from the peninsula of Angeln, an area now known as Denmark and northern Germany.

Historian Bede called these people Anglefolc.

In due course the land occupied by the Angles became known as Angle-land, then Engle-land, then England.
