Episode 61: International Names of Germany

from Words for Granted - An etymology and linguistics podcast

There are more etymologically different names for Germany than there are for any other European country. This is due to a long history of disunity among Gemanic tribes and the geographical location of the Germanic homeland smack dab in the middle of Europe. In today's episode, we explore the history and linguistic distribution of the etymological roots of Germany's many international names.
