White nationalists say "We speak English in England!" Medievalists reply, "Since when?" In our last article of 2019, eminent professor Jocelyn Wogan-Brown makes a bold claim: the English language and English people have never been monocultural.https://www.publicmedievalist.com/multicultural-english/ …

Or “Land of the English/Anglecynn”

I would recommend reading the article. French had an impact even before the Norman Invasion.

All of this is very interesting, thanks for sharing!
Now curious to know where the term ”Äng/Eng” i.e ”Meadow” originates from (do you happen to know?) Ängel = Angel
Was christianity already so predominent in Norse tribes by the time the term Enga Londe/England originated? -
Umm no. Angle/Anglian was an ethnonym the inhabitants used to describe themselves (and to a lesser extent Saxon was also used), Anglisc was used to describe the language, and English is basically the modern term derived from Anglisc. It has nothing to do with Christianity.
