German Baby Names
Half the names English speakers consider "normal" actually started as Germanic compounds. Charles means "free man." Emma means "whole." Alice means "noble." These are names designed to bestow a quality on the bearer, and that purposefulness gives Germanic names a weight and seriousness other traditions rarely match.
