Word origin

The word 'Anglo' originates from the Latin 'Angli', referring to the Angles, a Germanic tribe that settled in England during the early Middle Ages. Over time, 'Anglo' became commonly associated with people of English descent. In the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly in the United States, the term began to gain political and cultural significance, often used to distinguish between English-speaking populations and non-English-speaking minorities. Its usage has evolved and can sometimes carry connotations of cultural hegemony or privilege, reflecting the complex history of English-speaking peoples and their global influence. Despite its variances in meaning, 'Anglo' remains a prevalent term in discussions of ethnicity and culture, particularly in relation to the descendants of English colonists.
