Actually, it's "Angle land", but, as it's a Germanic language, "A" in English is the equivalent of the German "E", so "Angle" would be Germanicized into "Engle".
"Engle Land"
"Engleland"
"England"

Our only queen converted to Catholicism, invited Descartes to the royal court where he subsequently died from our horrible weather, abdicated and then moved to Italy. The only good thing she did was get Gustav X on the throne which then conquered Skåne, Halland, Blekinge, Bornholm and Bohuslän.

Actually, that's probably wrong.
It comes from "nór", not "norð"
Nor means narrow sound, so norway means the road with the narrow sounds.
The connection to north comes from a misunderstanding foreigners made.

This is a pretty common linguistic change known as haplology.
Haplology is the loss of one of two similar and adjacent syllables.
1. EngLALAnd
2. Haplology occurs!
3. England
As a linguistic joke, haplology is often known as haplogy.
