Basically it is a Germanic (Anglo-Saxon) word for "foreigner" (and foreigner in the Ancient World often meant those who speak differently from the way you do)

The ironic part is that they used the term for those people already on the land they settle afterwards ...thus they were actually the 'foreigners' ...
