The '''Angles''' were a [[Germanic]] people, originally from ''Angelm'' ( modern northwest [[Germany]] at the base of [[Denmark]]), who formed part of the [[Anglo-Saxons]], along with the [[Saxons]] and [[Jutes]]. They migrated to south-western parts of [[England]], starting in the 5th century A.D. Their name has come down to us in the words, "England" and "English" and all their derivatives.<ref>Concise Oxford Companion to the English Language - [http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O29-SAXON.html Saxon]</ref>
