The name Anglia likely came from the Proto-Argic-Europan root *h₂enǵʰ-, meaning "narrow", meaning here "the Narrow [Water]", in reference to Widdeby Sound, the long inlet which runs between the Anglian isthmus and the Amnalos Sea. The root would be *angh-, "tight". There is also a theory that Anglia meant "hook" (as in angling for fish), in reference to the shape of the peninsula.
