From Wikipedia
A Sassenach is an Anglo-Saxon, or more specifically an English person. The Gaels used the Scottish Gaelic word Sasunnach, possibly derived from the Latin word Saxones, to mean Saxons in the broad sense, covering the various Germanic tribes from Scandinavia (including Angles and Jutes) who invaded Britain after the withdrawal of the Romans. By the 18th century, this gave rise to the Scots and English loanword Sassenach (older spellings: Sassanich or Sassenagh), originally used to describe both English people and Scottish Lowlanders. In the 20th century, both Lowlanders and Gaels came to use it as a disparaging term for an English person.
