    The country where the Celts lived was called 'Briton' or Albion. When was it first called England?

    Question #29347. Asked by mochyn. (Mar 08 03 10:01 PM)


    Gnomon

    		As far as I can remember, the Angles arrived along with the Jutes and Saxons in the 4th and 5th centuries. It was first called England in about the 8th Century. But I could easily be wrong in this.
