Why angleland not Saxland. Why speak angleish not saxlish?

by step-through-history

When England was created as a single (but loose) country it was done so by a ruling West Saxon class, not the angles, so why did angle and not Saxon get used for the name of the country and the language? I have nothing more than theories on this so would love to hear your ideas.
