Angels-ELVES

Elves, also called elbs, erls, or mannikins, were originally Scandinavian
fairies, which explains their connection with the North Pole and
Santa Claus. The name was, however, imported into Great Britain,
and used to designate special classes of fairies. Specifically, in Scotland,
fairies as large as humans were termed elves, and fairyland was
called Elfame. By way of contrast, in England the term was used to
designate the so-called trooping fairies, namely fairies who liked to congregate
in groups (as opposed to solitary fairies). Relevant folklore portrays
them as skillful spinners and sewers. They are associated with
mice in some fairy tales.
