1327 German Baby Boy Names With Meanings

Germans observe their naming pattern and culture as with many other countries and traditions. With modernization, these patterns have drifted and as German emigrants who settled in America anglicized their names and more of American versions of German names could be seen. For example, there were more "Henrys" than "Heinrichs," and "Marys" than "Marias." German naming tradition had a unique feature that was often disrupted by circumstances. So when there was a duplicate name in the pattern, the next name in the pattern was automatically used. Also, if a child died in infancy, his or her name was reused for the next child of the same gender. Similarly, if a spouse died and the surviving spouse remarried and had more children, the names were repeated. This way, half the siblings were with the same names.
