Englander

/ˈɪŋɡləndər/ noun

Definition

A person from England; someone who was born in or is a native of England.

Etymology

From England (from Old English Englaland, meaning 'land of the Angles') + -er (a suffix forming nouns denoting a person). Compare to words like 'New Yorker' and 'Londoner.'

Kelly Says

Interestingly, we say 'Englander' for someone from England, but 'Londoner' for someone from London and 'Scotsman' for someone from Scotland—English never settled on one standard way to form nationality nouns!
