England is the largest and most populous constituent country of the United Kingdom . It accounts for more than 83% of the total UK population, occupies most of the southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain and shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. Elsewhere, it is bordered by the North Sea , Irish Sea , Atlantic Ocean , and English Channel .
England is named after the Angles (Old English genitive case, "Engla" - hence, Old English "Engla Land"), one of a number of Germanic tribes believed to have originated in Angeln in northern Germany , who settled in England in the 5th and 6th centuries. This is also the origin of its Latin name, Anglia . It has not had a distinct political identity since 1707, when the Kingdom of Great Britain was established as a unified political entity; however, it has a legal identity separate from those of Scotland and Northern Ireland , as part of the entity England and Wales . England's largest city, London , is also the capital of the United Kingdom.
