It originates from an Old High German word (originating from the region of Saxony) that means approximately, "of the people." Interestingly, the names that other countries call Germany are based on the two major tribes who called this area of Central Europe home in ancient times, namely, the Alemmanen and the Germanen. More countries call the country a derivative of these names than anything similar to "Deutchland."

Germany comes from Germani in Latin. It is probably derived from the Celtic word for "neighbor". This is the term the Romans called their neighbors to the North who spoke the Germanic language.
