German

German as a name

“German” can be a given name, but it is not very common. It is derived from the Latin name “Germanus”, which means “brother” or “related”. In German-speaking countries, the name “German” is more commonly used as a surname rather than a given name.

It’s worth noting that in English, the word “German” is most commonly used as a demonym for people from Germany or the German language, so using it as a first name in an English-speaking context might not be very common or well-received.
