Could I get some clarification on the terminoligy of "english" people?

by mcguire569

We have labels like brittons and anglos etc. But who was who? Like the original celtic people, then the people after roman influence.

I answered a similar question a few weeks ago which might be helpful.

In short, England has experienced many periods of migrations, and its population's genetics and culture have become so mixed that it's difficult to separate out traces of the original groups (though not entirely impossible).

Let me know if my answer linked above gives you more questions or fails to fully answer your original ones, and I'll do my best to expand.
