Alternate names for the Ingvaeones

I'm trying to come up alternate extratribal names in a butterfly netted "Dogger Islands" scenario.
The people of these islands will be called the Ēanan (sg = Ēana) and be related to the Angles and Saxons.
However I need a name that can be used by them to indicate themselves, the Angles, Saxons (incl Jutes), and Frisians together.
Now Ingwin can't be used as that will be used for Ingworshippers in general.
What others do you suggest?
 
Archaic sounding names from NW Europe

The Tribal Hidage* is a good place to star, as it has some weird (to modern eyes) names for Early Anglo Saxons kingdoms or sub-kingdoms. Some also give 'roots' that could be used with different prefixes.

Like the "NoxGaga" and ""OctGaga" or the Pecsaetna" (Peak dwellers? - now the Peak District), "WocenSaetna" (Wrekin dwellers? near Wroxeter) and CilternSaetna (chilterns).

Beowulf or the Norse Sagas can give you more Nordic names - Geats, Volsungs (is Sung another root?).

A Gaelicised version could have ruling dynasties named after their most illustrious forebear, with the equivalents of the Ui Neills (descended from grandchildren of Niall of the Nine Hostages IIRC) and O'Briens (from great grandchildren of Brian Boru)
;)

Tacitus and his list of tribes along the North Sea?

IF you have Tolkien-esque linguistic skills, some versions of "Northfolk" or "Wolf people" might work. I'd expect Doggerland languages to be pre-Indo-European but if not then some combination of Frisian, Danish and early Norse would be accurate enough. Maybe with Celtic or pre-Celtic influence too.
:confused:

Hope this helps
:)

Thanks but I'm not after local names.
I'm after a name that would indicate the Eanan, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians etc as a group.
Much how Anglecynn and Anglefolc was used to indicate all the Angle and Saxon tribes and kingdoms in Britain/
 
From memory a large amount of the area occupied by this tribes were held prevouisly be the Suebi. Tacitus also confirms this in Germania. So something along the lines of Suiebic. Another possibility is to use Nerthus who was near universally worship by the early Germanic. This could become something like SænerÞuz. Someone who is more skilled with proto-Germanic should be able to construct something more accurate then I.
 
Well, what did the Germanics call the North Sea? Have them be called North Sea Dwellers. Depending on the size, numerity and location of the islands, this might butterfly away the Saxon invasion.
