        It’s still a western name as in European, so I guess you mean outside the Anglo-sphere.

      German (or, more correctly, GermĂĄn) is a rather common name among Spanish-speaking people. Its origin is the visigoth past in Spain and comes from Hermann.

      To be fair, aren’t politicians supposed to do their research before spewing out bullcrap?
