Proper name

IPA: /ˈæŋ.ɡəl.siː/ Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-Anglesey.wav [Southern-England]
Etymology: Possibly of Old Norse origin, from Ǫngullsey (“hook island”) (ǫngull + ey) or Ǫnglisey (“Ǫngli's island”), the name Ǫngli itself being a variant of Ǫngull and from the former noun. Folk etymology confused the name with that of the Angles. More at Anglesey.
