Thread Name: BS: countries that named themselves
Subject: RE: BS: countries that named themselves
Misophist, you havent grasped my question.Yes,of course England was named after the Angles. But was it named BY the Angles? Or was it named by someone else, referring to it as "that place where the Angles live".And splendid as the OED is, it won't tell me that. If it did, I wouldnt be asking.
