History & Origin
Anglia is the Latin name for England, the land of the Angles, and that is the clearest meaning a girl carrying it inherits. As an American given name it was always rare, drifting in from the mid-1950s and reading as a word-name or a spin on Angela.
Its overlap with the Ford Anglia car and with Angela leaves the true inspiration uncertain, which we note. Someone named Anglia at its brief 1960s high would be in their late fifties now β a genuine curiosity of a name.
