Selecting an appropriate baby name is a huge responsibility, especially if you’re a first-time parent. There are so many factors and options to consider that it may feel overwhelming at times. Should you go for something entirely new or a tried and tested family name? Or a name based on heritage or characteristic? How about picking something entirely unconventional like a Germanic baby name? Germanic names were used centuries ago by people residing in Northern Europe and Germanic tribes like Saxons, Angles, Vandals, Goths, Franks, and many other Teutonic speakers. These names are still in use in some parts of Germany, and other European countries. Most of the Germanic first names consist of two elements. So people could form new names by combining elements from two names. Saint and Latin names were also used by Germanic people. Surnames did not exist in those times. The surnames were introduced in the German-speaking Europe in the Late Middle Ages. From the cultural heritage of Germania, Germanic mythology, and tribal groups of combatants, MomJunction brings you the names that gave rise to English, the most widely spoken language in the world.
