WHAT DOES ANGLO-CELTIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Anglo-Celtic

Anglo-Celtic people are those of British and Irish descent. The concept is mainly relevant outside of Britain and Ireland, particularly in Australia but also in Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States, where a significant diaspora is located. The term is a combination of the combining form Anglo- and the adjective Celtic. Anglo-, meaning English and... or British and..., is derived from the Angles, a Germanic people that settled in Britain in the middle of the first millennium. The name England originates from these people. Celtic, in this context, refers to the people of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, and Cornwall; the Celtic nations of the controversial term "British Isles". Recorded usage dates as far back to at least the mid-19th century. A newspaper of the name, The Anglo-Celt, was founded in County Cavan in Ireland in 1846.
