La Manche (the sea between 'Ouessant Island' and 'Dunkerque') was also called 'Manche Britannique'.... this old term isn't used in France.
Translation : what's a 'Manche' ?
it's a sleeve (for a shirt). with a little imagination, you can put your arm in the sea, from the west to the est ... your hand should be in the North Sea ...

I don't understand your question. To answer the title: We do speak English in England, what do you think we speak? But I don't understand the last part of your question 'England sounds a lot called English which can be confusing' 'A lot called English' makes no sense whatsoever and I cannot imagine what you mean to ask. Bottom line, the English speak English in England.

The English Channel (French: La Manche (IPA: [mɑ̃ʃ]), "the sleeve")

"La Manche", which I believe means "The Sleeve" , hence the name of the company that operates the Channel Tunnel, TML, Trans Manche Link.
