Etymology
la :af Germānī -ia + Germani was an exonym applied by the Romans to a tribe (or nearby tribes) living around and east of the Rhine; it was first attested in the 1st century b.c. works of Julius Caesar and is of uncertain etymology. It was said by Strabo to derive from la germānus close kin; genuine, making it cognate with "en germane" and "en german", but this seems unsupported. Attempts to derive it from Germanic or Celtic roots are all problematic (although see en Germany).Oxford English Dictionary, 3rd ed. "German, adj. and n". Oxford University Press (Oxford), 2012.
