Etymology

Angliae comes from the Latin place-name Anglia, which itself comes from the name of the Angles, a tribe that settled in what is now England. In Latin Angliae often means 'of England' or 'to/for England', so you see it in dedications and titles like 'Regina Angliae' meaning 'Queen of England'.
