English English or British English?

Can we say " English English" like we say "American English" or we should say "British English"? Thank you so much as usual in advance.

British English (BrE) is the usual if you are merely differentiating from AmE.

Thank you and then how about "English man" and "British man"? Can I use either of them for the same meaning?

An Englishman comes from England; a Briton comes from the UK. We will have to wait to hear from some Brits as to whether these terms or others are politically correct.

We use 'Briton' commonly only in newspaper headlines. We tend to use the adjective 'British' rather than a noun - 'He is British', 'One British tourist was among the injured'. Informally, the noun 'Brit' is used, especially in speech, though some people dislike this.

Thank you and then do you not use Englishman and is there a meaning difference between British man and Englishman?

As Mr M explained, an Englishman comes from England. People from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are British, but they are not English.
