In German, Germany is called Deutschland.


How did they get that one so wrong?

One name is of Germanic origin, one is of Latin origin. We use the Latin rooted name in English.

So where does the name 'Allemagne'/'Alemania' etc stem from? It's different to both.

That other guy is wrong. Allemagne/Alemania is the latin. What we use comes from the Shakespear era. IIRC at that time people called them Allemains in English and someone wrote a book where they called them Germans instead and it just became commonplace until the country was formed like 300 years later.

Español to Spanish is hardly a weird one. In Spanish they always add an E before initial consonant clusters like "sp", and I'm assuming "-ol" is the equivalent of "-ish". It's a very regular example.

The Roman empire had a province in (partially) modern day Germany called Germania 1500 years before Shakespeare.

That comes from naming the region after the Alemanni tribe that lived there.

Germany has a lot of different names in different languages.

What pisses me off is that Munich is actually München, but we call it Munich in English for some reason... We should call the city the right name.

Lmfao, no I'm not wrong.

In English, the word "German" is first attested in 1520, replacing earlier uses of Almain, Alman and Dutch...
and
The English term Germans is only attested from the mid-16th century, based on the classical Latin term Germani used by Julius Caesar and later Tacitus. It gradually replaced Dutch and Almains, the latter becoming mostly obsolete by the early 18th century

From two wiki articles (haha wiki is my source).

I said from Shakespear era as in mid 16th century.

Yes the term comes from much earlier, but I was specifically talking about the English use.

I am wrong about the word "German" not being latin. It is. I just assumed it wasn't because Romance languages call Germany different varieties of "Allemagne".

That tilts me a bit. In Portuguese a lot of people call that place "Bavária" but the proper translation is "Baviera".

Then again, European Portuguese is weird and refers to "Mainz" as "Mogúncia". Literally what?

Oh, well, tru. I wanted to say it was probably still only the Iberians who referred to it as that, but it seems, based on Wikipedia, that the Polish also do. Darn dag nabbit
