[Ven]

It’s geography and politics and culture. Great Britain is a geographical term describing the big island off the western coast of Europe — which divides into the countries of England, Wales and Scotland — the next biggest, which is Ireland — Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland aka Eire — and all the smaller associated islands which variously belong to one of those countries. However British does not now ever describe the people of Eire. It is applied to the inhabitants of the political entity, The United Kingdom — England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. All these countries differ by race, culture and native language. The term ‘British’ is now falling into disfavour because it often means English by default (as in the the athlete who is British when she wins a medal and Scottish when she falls over during the first lap). So, English is distinct from British, and English is the right name for the missing part of your mix. You could legitimately describe yourself as of German/ British stock or as German/Irish/Welsh/Scottish/English NB I have picked a state as i could not otherwise send this. I do not live there. I do not know where it is.
