A person who loves, admires, or is greatly interested in England, English culture, English language, or English-speaking peoples.
From Anglo- (relating to England) + -phile (Greek 'philos' meaning lover of). The word gained prominence in the 19th century as interest in English customs and culture spread internationally.
Anglophiles exist everywhere: from Japanese manga fans obsessed with British school uniforms to Americans who collect Downton Abbey memorabilia—it shows how cultural attraction can be both genuine and performed.
