Synonyms: see Thesaurus:England Holonyms: Great Britain, Britain < United Kingdom, UK < Earth, World (historical) The territory of the Angles and (later) Anglo-Saxons in Britain at any given time before the founding of the Kingdom of England, or the territory of the English people at any given time, in either the Kingdom of England or the United Kingdom.

This usage is now often considered uninformed or insulting, particularly to those from other parts of the UK. The 1746 Wales & Berwick Act formalized the previous informal understanding that laws referencing the Kingdom of England alone also applied to the Principality of Wales; this continued to be the case until the 1967 Welsh Language Act required that any similarly general laws afterwards must specify England and Wales separately. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== ==== Translations ==== ==== See also ==== England, Arkansas on Wikipedia.Wikipedia England (surname) on Wikipedia.Wikipedia === Anagrams === endlang == Danish == === Etymology === From Old English Engla land. === Proper noun === England England (a constituent country of the United Kingdom) (informal, somewhat dated) Great Britain (a large island of the United Kingdom in Northern Europe) (informal, somewhat dated) United Kingdom (a kingdom and country in Northern Europe) == German == === Etymology === From Old English Engla land. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɛŋlant/ Rhymes: -ant === Proper noun === England n (proper noun, genitive Englands or (optionally with an article) England) England (a constituent country of the United Kingdom) (somewhat informal) Great Britain (a large island of the United Kingdom in Northern Europe) (somewhat informal) United Kingdom (a kingdom and country in Northern Europe) (informal, proscribed) the British Isles (an archipelago of Western Europe, including Ireland) ==== Usage notes ==== In formal usage, England referring to Great Britain or the United Kingdom is now very rare. In common speech, England continues to be the most common word for the two respective entities as a whole. It is, however, now uncommon to use England when referring specifically to a place or incident in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. In such a case, the respective word would normally be used (Schottland, Wales, Nordirland). The usage including the Republic of Ireland, which is sometimes heard, is conspicuously nonstandard. ==== Synonyms ==== Engelland (archaic) (Great Britain): Großbritannien, GB (United Kingdom): Vereinigtes Königreich, VK ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== Angelland englisch Englisch === Further reading === “England” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache == Hunsrik == === Etymology === Inherited from Middle High German Engellant.
