Historically it was part of Brittany France. King Arthur and the knights of the round table tales all were situated in France.

Angleterre from the French. Angle, twisted Terre, Earth Sounds about right to me.

Angle Land .Where the angles live. You live in queens land don't you?  I suppose it's better than "some" Mania. ALL the states need new names. They could hardly be less inspired than they are. Nev

Not sure about the relation to aviation, but the naval stuff is correct. Steerboard became Starboard (right) and Port, well Port (left)

They would never dock steerboard side to the dock as damage to the steerboard was highly likely.

Other note, the word "Posh" is alleged to come from sea travel to Africa. Wealthy travellers would book a P.O.S.H. Cabin ticket.

Portside Out  - Starboad Home. The idea being they could see land out their cabin window on both trips.

POSH...FWIW also urban legend...
