Sumorsaete
The Sumorsaete were an Anglo-Saxon group living in what is now Somerset, presumably around the town of Somerton. They are evidently the source of the county's name. The group may have been established as early as the 577, when the Saxons conquered part of the area from the Britons, but they are not mentioned by name until 845. They may have been related to the obscure Glastening or Glestinga, who may be the source of the name Glastonbury.
==Name==
The name ''Sumorsǣte'' is Old English and may be a shortened form of ''Sumortūnsǣte'', meaning "the people living at or dependent upon Sumortūn", i.e. the modern town of Somerton. The origin of Somerton itself is unknown; it may mean 'The sea-lake enclosure' from the Old English ''sae'', ''mere'' and ''tun'' or possibly "summer farmstead", from ''sumer'' and -''tūn''. The first known use of the name ''Somersæte'' was in 845, after the region fell to the Saxons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Somersetshire )〕 When King Alfred coined the future county motto 'Sumorsǣte ealle' in the ninth century, he referred to the people of Somerset as the ''Sumortūnsǣte''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Danish Invasions )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Manuscript E: Bodleian MS Laud 636.
