More questions (if you have time and energy since its interesting and I dont know very much about it) How did the term ”English” come to be? If its not from the land they occupied but the other way around. I assumed since ”Iceland” = Land of ice / England = Land of Meadows

English is a modernization of Anglisc, the word for the language they spoke as well as the people themselves.
