Anglo-Saxon

Perhaps you've heard of the term "anglo-saxon?"

That refers to two German tribes.

Anglo is the root word of English. (Anglish)

My home county is Kent- neither Angles nor Saxons, but Jutes.

Well, that's cool!
I wasn't trying to imply that everyone was of German descent.
My great great grandmother was a Merod, which is German.

Also, Jutes are Danes - Jutland is a part of Denmark.
