United States

The part about the United States doesn't make sense as the U.S. Census considers Spanish people (quite accurately) Hispanic. I don't know about you, but I do not know of a single person that would call a Spaniard "Anglo", I think it should be reworded, since it keeps referring to "Latin American" which is NOT what the word Hispanic means 2601:0:4180:7D1:B89F:DC46:78BF:18D1 (talk) 13:54, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I might add here that from personal experience, historically in the greater US southwest, there was a three part division between "Indian", "Mexican", and "Anglo" with the result that anyone who wasn't in the first two categories was automatically an Anglo. For example, there used to be a monument on Mt. Palomar in San Diego to a Nate Harrison as the first "White" on the mountain. Mr. Harrison ran a toll road up the mountain and for a number of year the road was called "N***** Nate Grade", although it was more recently renamed "Nate Harrison Road". The point is that, although today this individual would be identified as "black" or "Afro/African America ", in the past he was considered as "white" or "Anglo". I would imagine that this usage arose at a time when there were few ndividuals who were not what we would consider today as one of the three categories and those few were English speakers, hence "Anglo". Today, of course, "Anglo" is more narrowly construed as more or less synonymous with "white", and would include those whose linguistic ancestry was other than English. Since I don't have any source for this other than my own experience, I just put this here. Wschart (talk) 16:01, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

Saying "The word is derived from Anglia, the Latin name for England" is very misleading because the word "Anglo" is ultimately of Germanic origin and the first recorded use of the word in Latin is in Tactitus's Germania where he mentions the "Angles" as a Suebian tribe living near the Elbe. Bede agrees and says that the Angles came from a place called Angulus "which lies between the province of the Jutes and the Saxons."

So the word "Anglo" is NOT derived from the "Latin name for England" but from the tribe of the Angles or their homeland. H2ner (talk) 03:34, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
