Anglo
Encyclopedia
Anglo is a prefix indicating a relation to the Angles
, England
or the English people
, as in the terms Anglo-Saxon
, Anglo-American
, Anglo-Celtic
, Anglo-African
and Anglo-Indian
. It is often used alone, somewhat loosely, to refer to people of British Isles
descent in The Americas
, Australia
and Southern Africa
. It is also used, both in English-speaking
and non-English-speaking countries, to refer to Anglophone
people of other Europe
an origins.
Anglo is a Late Latin
prefix used to denote English
- in conjunction with another toponym or demonym
. The word is derived
from Anglia
, the Latin name for England, and still the modern name of its eastern region
. Anglia and England both mean Land of the Angles
, a Germanic
people originating in the north German
peninsula
of Angeln
.
It is also often used to refer to 'British' in historical and other contexts after the Acts of Union 1707
, for example such as in the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824
, where in later years agreement was between the British government and the Dutch, not an English government. Typical examples of this use are also shown below, where non-English people from the British Isles are classified as being English.
Anglo is not an easily defined term. For traditionalists, there are linguistic
problems with using the word as an adjective or noun on its own. For example, the purpose of the -o ending is to enable the formation of a compound term (for example Anglo-Saxon meaning of Angle and Saxon
origin), so there is only an apparent parallelism between, for example, Latino and Anglo. However, a semantic change
has taken place in many English-speaking regions so that in informal usage the meanings listed below are perfectly valid.
, which refer to the majority of Australians, who are of English and/or Scottish
, Welsh
or Irish
descent.
, and especially in Canadian French
, the term anglophone
is widely used to designate someone whose everyday language is English, as contrasted to francophone
whose everyday language is French
and allophones, those with a different mother tongue. In Quebec, the word refers to English-speaking Quebecers in both English and French. Anglo-Metis
is also sometimes used to refer to a historical ethnic group.
refers to anyone who is of British Isles (Anglo-Celtic) ancestry, although the more popular term for them, as well as for any New Zealander of European origins, is Pākehā

the term Anglo-Scot, often shortened to "Anglo", is used to refer to people born in England
with Scottish ancestry, or people born in Scotland with English ancestry.
, Anglo-South African is used for predominantly British-descended, English-speaking white people, who are contrasted with the Dutch
-descended Afrikaner
s. Use of Anglo occurs elsewhere in former British colonies
in Africa
which have sizeable British communities, including Namibia
, Botswana
, Zimbabwe
, and Kenya
. However, the term "Anglo" is more heavily used in South Africa
than in these other countries because of Apartheid and the importance it placed on race.
Anglo-American is shortened to Anglo and applied to White American
s who are not of Hispanic or Latino
origin, and sometimes to those who are not of French
origin.
In the Southwest United States, Anglo, short for Anglo American, is used as a synonym for Non-Hispanic Whites
, that is, all European American
s (except Portuguese-, and Spanish-Americans), most of whom speak the English language but are not necessarily of English descent. The term Anglo-American also excludes Franco-American
s such as the Cajun
s of Louisiana
. The term Anglo has been regularly used by mainstream media such as the Los Angeles Times
.
However, it is also possible to find usage of Anglo in contrast with Jewish. In addition, some non-Hispanics whites in the United States who speak English but are not of English ancestry do not identify with the term Anglo and in some cases find the term offensive. For instance, some Cajuns in south Louisiana
use the term to refer to area whites who do not have Francophone
backgrounds. Irish American
s, the second largest ethnic group in the United States following German-Americans, also sometimes take umbrage at being called "Anglo."
