Meanwhile the thumbnail has a German flag. They could circle Deutshland and put a Dutch flag.

They're also basically responsible for most of European history (post rome).

What Germanic elements are present in Armenian and Basque? Can you elaborate?

Germanic is not the same as German

@@stratospheric37 I'm not the other guy, but from a geography perspective I could at least name that the Basque area had contact with every Germanic state that would establish itself in Iberia (Suebians, Visigoths and Vandals) with the Suebians passing through ahead of establishing Galicia. Armenia and the broader Caucasus region had an influx of German & Germanic migrants in the 17th century onwards with several towns being funded by so-called Kaukasus-Germans such as Katharinenfeld and Elisabetthal. Over 45'000 people of that ethnic category were cleansed from the area under Stalin, with about 2'000 people remaining around today.

yep, Essex = East Saxony / Wessex = West Saxony / Sussex = South Saxony / Middlesex = Middle Saxony ...

And sex = Saxony (Jk)

And from them counties in New Jersey.

It is said that there was a "Nosex" as well, but the people there went extinct for some reason!

Germany is Almaen in Welsh, but England is Lloegr in Welsh. The English are Saeson however, and the language is Saesneg.

The comments section of these videos are always good, thank you for sharing your knowledge

@@KristopherBel actually, it's in one of Name Explained's previous videos about Germany's and England's exonyms if I'm correct

Ah, so that's where Allemagne comes from... So where does Deustchland come from? Did that come from one of the ancient tribes?

@@mastertrams deutchland comes from the germanic word. duits or english duch, or german deutcsh. witch means "people"

Yea but it’s most likely more accurately pronounced as “yutland” instead of “Jutland ”

@@cyka6blat989 I'm not sure how it was originally pronounced but in modern Danish it's spelled "Jylland" and prounced as "Yyllan", and in modern German it's spelled "Jütland" and pronounced as "Yytland"

Yeah, pretty sure it's pronounced as Y, cuz the letter J comes From I and was invented to differenciate between the vowel i/e, and the consonant j/y, like with u and v. English is just.... Weird, and definetly not normal on how it pronounces the vowels and j lol, to be fair, French isn't any better in terms of j tho

@@Brennende_Rose do tell more

No t in the danich name yuland

In fact the Arabs called Southern Spain Al Andalus land of the Vandals. I guess the v got dropped.

Who need V anyways? 🍷👳🐫. Not trying to be racist here, just humorous, if... That's the right word lol

... and of course the city of Göteborg !

Beowulf was described as a Geat.

The Weimar Republik used them (until Hitler came along)

@@keit99 *Weimar Republic or Weimarer Republik It's my understanding that it was disputed whether to use black-red-gold or the old Prussian black-white-red design during that period - and that a government even collapsed over the issue.

@@FoggyD black-red-gold was used at the Hambacher Fest and the 1848 Revolution, so it's much older than black-white-red, which is just a hybrid of the Prussian and the Hanseatic flag and was only adopted in 1866 with the creation of the North German confederation.

Goes back way further. Black, red and gold were the colors of the imperial banners of the HRE for hundreds of years. Usually expressed as a black eagle with red talons, on golden background...

@@FoggyD my autocorrection decided to correct republic into Republik.

In Estonian 🇸🇪 is Rootsi

But this wasn't the name of a specific Germanic TRIBE. It was merely a word to denote a swede that was living on the coast.

It’s one of the theories. Russia (Росія) itself comes from the Greek name of Rus (Ukraine and Belarus), Rhosia. Rus itself may be Scandinavian, possibly from “those who row” or Roslagen. Another origin may be from the location in Ukraine known as Рось, which in Old Rusian became «Роусь», and later «Русь». So with all this in mind, one may need to consider not being so absolute about something as mystified by unclear facts and legends as the name of Rus and the Muscovites’ invented country which stole the history of Rus.

Don’t let Putin read about this 😅 He may decide to assimilate Sweden into Russia

You meen Swedistan

Wasn’t some part settled by the Germans (Siebenbürger Sachsen) until ww2? Does it come from them?

That Neamt sounds similar to the Slavic version Němce, which I think means "the ones, who don't/cant talk", cuz they weren't able to understand them

It's not known whether the Belgae were germanic though.

@@nekhumonta yep, might be of Celtic origin. But also the Proto-Celts originated from the region of Southern Germany/Austria (Hallstatt). Hallstatt is not only a magical tourist spot due to its fairytale appearance but also due to having the oldest salt mine in the world (hall = salt, statt = Staette/Place) - over 7000 years old. You have also in Germany for instance the Celtic Heuneburg (archaeological and reconstruction side) which was already referred from the ancient Greeks - and part of a trading spot with them (which is why you found there also all kind of ancient Greek items, coins etc.) ....

I think the Belgi were a Celtic tribe.

@@anxofernandez3344 yep ...

yep, Middlesex = Middle Saxony (or in German: Mittelsachsen)

maybe the old saxons were good swimmers ?

There's a place near me (I live in Germany, though, I'd prefer either Dutchland, or Teutonia) literally called Handorf lol

N'importe quoi.

@@alpha791 De quoi de tu parles ?

Well, it's not like Celtic tribes never lived on German ground... let's not forget the German tribes got named by Caesar in HIS time. Interbreeding was always an option.

Germanic*@@fermintenava5911

Julius Caesar’s invasion is estimated to have killed up to 5 million Gauls. It’s not that the French aren’t descended from Gauls, it’s that those Celtic genes have been greatly thinned out by Romans, Germanic tribes and partially the Normans (my DNA shows as part Dane because of that.

Frankreich isnt frank empire, reich translates to something more like realm

And of course within Germany there is the region called Frankonia.

Frankia is more translated to Frankenreich and not Frankreich

It's "das Reich," so it would be neuter and not masculine. But even then, "Frankreich," since it is a name, has no article.

Fun fact. Greece calls it by its OLD name, Gallia (Γαλλία)

Bavaria as well, coming from the tribe of the Bajuwaren and they Stack to the name ever since

Or Swabia coming from the swabians

and Frankenstein which btw. is also a Castle (where a real Frankenstein dynasty lived + an alchemist searching for the elixir of life - which inspired Mary Shelby who traveled through this region in Hessen/Germany and got inspired form that for her famous novel 'Frankenstein') ...

and Andalusia is named after the Vandals

Yeah, vandalism goes back a ways. 😉

Dutch/Deutsch has, in fact, nothing to do with the Teutons (even though 19th-century romantic nationalism sometimes used that popular etymology). Dutch/Deutsch comes from "theod" (other variants exist), meaning "people", and originally referred to the language only, and then came to distinguish those parts of the Frankish empire where "the language of the people", i. e. a Germanic dialect, was spoken from the regions where folks spoke "Latin", i. e. Old French.

@@th60of So the way I got it, is the original ancient Teutons were a Germanic tribe, the Roman’s then called all Germanic tribes teutons which they themselves took over, by this turning the word into its new version of „Theod = Germanic people“ which was associated with the Germanic languages. The Dutch were, simplified, just historically „Teutons => theods = general germanics“ that were due to their trade rich enough to stay out of the German empires and so developed their own state. And seemingly used it to differentiate between the parts who spoke Germanic and the ones who spoke Latin. Its similar to the naming of the American states I guess. A lot of them got their names due to „laziness“ of the tribes to correct the europeans and they thought „close enough“ to work with and then turned the new „normal“. I think similar mechanisms could have worked between the Romans and Germans.

In Finnish scissors are called "sakset". Scissors are basically two knives combined. But it amuses me to think their weapon of choice were scissors!

Actually, the Franks still exist in France, we, the French, even are the descendants of them, so in a way, we're still Franks.

Franks do exist in Germany. But they live primarily in the lower Rhine area and Hesse. The connection between the Franks and the “Franken” region is highly disputed. It is more likely that much like France, it was named after the Franks but not actually Frankish culturally or ethnically. The homeland of the Franks was in the Low Countries and along the Lower Rhine after all And, the main Frankish language that is still in use today is actually Dutch

The middle part: Lotharingia, named after one the sons of Charlemagne, Lothar. Lorraine in France is a part of Lotharingia. For recall , after he died, Carolus’s Magnus Empire, was divided between his three sons (Frankish custom).

Oops, nope, the Vandals conquered North Africa after being chased out of the Iberian peninsula (after being chased out of eastern and central Europe) and *then* they raided Rome. Sheesh, no one wanted them around. A child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth and so on and so forth.

@@tomasmondragon883 no. they were not chased out of Spain. they on the opposite dominated there after they arrived (and among other Germanic tribes) and created a 'planned' invasion of North Africa - which is why they took their time to create a fleet and add knowledge (wasnt that easy at that time to do that) ...

Such as Low Franconian, or Dutch. Although the linguistic connection between Frankish and Upper/East Franconian is actually disputed

they didnt conquer it

The surname Lombardo is the 4th most common sicilian surname

​@@esti-od1mz An historical event that comes to my mind dates back to Frederick II, who was emperor in the XIII century: for political reasons he "relocated" (I don't know in which measure forcefully and in what measure willingly) the muslim population of Sicily to Apulia and repopulated Sicily with people from today's Piedmont, back then still considered part of the "Lombardy" toponym. So I guess it would have been very common in Sicily to call people something like: - Mario who? The son of Calogero? - No, Mario the Lombard, they moved here a few years ago. Which would explain how the surname Lombardo spread so much in Sicily. But, again: this event dates back to the XIII century, I don't know how much the two things can be related, it could also be a coincidence.

Northern Italy has anyway a strong mixture culture of Latin/Roman and Germanic, not just due to the Langobards but also before that due to East Gothic tribes/dynasties like under Theoderich. There is also still a Mausoleum of him in Ravenna with an extraordinary construction: "(...) On the top of the mausoleum lies a large monolithic dome of remarkable dimensions, with no equals in all the antique and modern architectural heritage (10.76 m in diameter and 3.09 m in height), crowned by twelve curved handles with the names of eight Apostles and four Eavngelists. According to recent calculations, it weighs about 290 tons and, still today, scholars have advanced a number of hypotheses concerning the transport of the monolith and the technique employed for its placement. Someone believes that the handles were specifically built for the monolith’s transportation and positioning, and that it must have been a quite difficult task, as suggested by the big crack on the dome. According to a legend, a divine lighting split open the mausoleum’s dome, and, hitting Theodoric who was sitting inside, killed him as punishment for his crimes.(...)". And Northern Italy was later part of the Germanic Frankish Empire and later the Holy Roman Empire - as kind of more or less autonomous region ...

@@rubenlarochelle1881yep, that is exactly how it went.

Lombards = Longobards = Langobarden (in German) Charlemagne fought several battles with the Lombards and with the Alemannians who had formed an alliance for some time. After defeating them alemannic and lombardian dukes were replaced by franconian dukes.

Wales is also a Germanic word. It means "foreigner" and was used by the Anglo-Saxons for the land of those pesky celts who refused to be conquered and subdued.

@@tessjuel True that, like the Swiss canton Wallis or the Welsch people in northern Italy. Also "Windisch" (as well as Wenden or Winden) is from the same root and can be used in southern Austrian colloquial speech when someone speaks unintelligible, he's speaking Windisch. Also a mountain range between Austria and Slovenia is called "Windische Bühel".
