Germin offers a masculine name brimming with potential for your seedling preparing to sprout. An Anglo-Saxon last name to show German heritage and form of the French Germain, Germin comes from the Latin Germanus. The Romans coined this striking term for non-Gaulish tribes east of the River Rhine. They were referring to the Germanic people, whose name is believed to come from Gaulish, Celtic, and Old Irish words that mean “neighbor” or “noisy.” Germin also comes from the words germen, meaning “sprout” or “bud” for baby’s new beginning, and germānus, meaning “brother” or “sister,” symbolic of a loving and resilient friendship. Germin’s rich history and warm familial endearments make it a truly meaningful choice.
