Kind of reminds me of that show Outlander. Jamie calls his love, Claire a sassenanch.

foreigner
A sassenach typically refers to an English person or a foreigner, deriving from the Gaelic sasunnach “Saxon” as it was used by Gaelic speakers to refer to Scottish Lowlanders who had Anglo-Saxon descent as a way of setting boundaries and divisions

Besides “sassanach”, there were also “lochlanachs” which were people from the Lake District. They were more ethnically Britonic than the lowland Scots who were most certainly Angles, and Saxons, and Jutes.
