Anglo

The term Anglo can be used as a prefix to indicate a relation to England, as in the phrases 'Anglo-American' or 'Anglo-America'.

It is also used, somewhat loosely, to refer to a person or people of English or British ethnicity in North America. In both the United States, especially in the Southwest, and Australia it usually means any white person of non-Hispanic ethnicity. In Australia this is because 'Anglo' is the abbreviation of "Anglo-Celtic" or "Anglo-Irish", which refers to the majority of Australians who are of mixed English and Irish stock. Roughly, one third of Australians are of Irish ancestry.
