True "Hessians" came from the region of what is now Hessen, in Germany. Additionally, the British deployed many German troops from other regions of present-day Germany, including Brunswick, Anspach-Bayreuth, Anhalt Zerbst, and Waldeck. However, the largest contribution of auxiliary troops came from Hessen-Kassel (about half), so that "Hessian" became a term for all German auxilliaries deployed by the British in the Revoultionary War.
