German is of Germanic origin, meaning "spear-strong" or "spear-comrade". It was brought to Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers and has been used throughout the centuries. The name gained popularity in the Middle Ages due to its use among royalty, such as Emperor Frederick I who was known as 'Barbarossa', meaning 'red beard'. Today, it is still a common name worldwide, with its bearers being found in various cultures and countries.
By the year 1993, five individuals bearing the name "German Annually" were brought into existence, summing up to a total of five newborns recorded under this particular moniker across that year alone.
