追答明白你的意思了。回答必须有根有据,以下来自英国基维百科的两段:(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England)
The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries.
The name of the Angles was first recorded in Latinised form, as Anglii, in the Germania of Tacitus. It is thought to derive from the name of the area they originally inhabited: Angeln in modern German, Angel in Danish. This name has been hypothesised to originate from the Germanic root for "narrow" (compare German and Dutch eng = "narrow"), meaning "the Narrow [Water]"
由以上两段话可知:England来自于德国部落名称Angles,Angles的意思是“狭长的一带”,所以England的Original meaning 是狭长的一带。
