>>17965003As bs as it sounds, Anglo, angler (as in fisherman) and angle are all etymologically related. They were either known to be fishermen, and angle refers to a fisherman's hook, or the peninsula they came from was perceived to have an angle in it, which looks like a fish hook (said peninsula is presumably Jutland, which is shaped like a chode, not a hook, but its possible people thought the island where Copehagen is was connected and it curved around).The word angel is, of course, not related to the word Anglo. That's just coincidence

>>17965518The Angles settled to the north of the Saxons. At this time there was a huge swamp south of The Wash dividing the North Folk and South Folk from the South Angles and Middle Angles. There was no North Angles, rather North Humbrians, north of the Humber, the river's name itself derived from Celtic language.
Dont rule out the seax. Did they name the blade or did the blade name them?
