Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'Άγγλος' (Englishman) derives from the Latin 'Anglus', which in turn comes from the Old English 'Englisc', referring to the Angles, a Germanic tribe. This term has evolved through various forms in Greek, reflecting the historical interactions between Greece and the English-speaking world.
