World English Historical Dictionary Dictionary Biographies Literary Criticism Welcome Terms of Service ⧏ Previous Next ⧐ Contents Slice Contents Key Bibliographic Record Murray’s New English Dictionary. 1888, rev. 2024. Anglian a. and sb. [f. L. Anglī (see ANGLE sb.3) + -AN.] Of or pertaining to the Angles. Often in combination, as East Anglian, of East Anglia or the East Angles, the Teutonic occupants of Norfolk and Suffolk; also used in reference to the same district in modern times.

1   The OE. adj. f. Engle was Englisc, now English, but as this was in course of time used of all the Teutonic occupants of Britain (and afterwards extended also to Danish, Norman-French and other immigrants), Anglian is conveniently used by modern writers to translate Englisc, in its early restricted sense, as distinct from Saxon.

2 1726.  Tindal, Rapin’s Hist. Eng. (1757), I. 192. Both the East-Anglian kings being slain.
