Etymology
Englez comes from Anglia, the Romanian name for England, which itself descends from Latin Anglia. The word takes the suffix -ez, a common Romanian ending for nationality adjectives and nouns, seen also in francez (French) and portughez (Portuguese). This -ez pattern likely formed under the influence of Italian -ese and French -ais, which mark origin in the same way.
