Origin: Ireland, England, Scotland
Meaning:

The old Scottish form of 'English,' formerly applied to the descendants of Englishmen settled in Scotland, especially of prisoners taken by Malcolm III from the northern counties in 1070. For years after that date, we are told, English servants or slaves were to be found in every village, and almost in every house. Singularly enough, the baronet family, though of Scottish origin, deduce from William Inglis, who had, in 1395, a grant of lands and this surname from Robert III, for killing an Englishman on the borders Anglus ab Anglum occidendo; truly as odd an origin as surname ever had.

Variant form of English. An additional name applied for distinction's sake, in early Norman times, to such persons as were permitted to retain their lands. Thus in Domesday we find "quatuor Anglia"-Four English, mentioned as holding in capite in Hampshire.

One who came from England, an Englishman.

A variant of the English. An Englishman. Possibly the name was acquired while outside of England and brought back.
