== Origins == The term is a combination of the combining form Anglo- and the adjective Celtic. Anglo-, meaning English is derived from the Angles, a Germanic people who settled in Britain (mainly in what is now England) in the middle of the first millennium. The name England ( or ) originates from these people. Celtic, in this context, refers to the people of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, the Isle of Man and Cornwall.
