Not an expert but from the name, I would imagine they descend from the Angles (Engles?) and the Saxes not from the Vikings.

Yeah, for some reason I was thinking Angles and Saxons were considered Vikings but I was totally wrong on that. You are correct.

Northeast England and the east coast of Scotland have a fair amount of viking ancestry about from all the raiding, so it's not completely baseless.
