Germani was an exonym applied by the Romans to a tribe (or nearby tribes) living around and east of the Rhine; it was first attested in the 1st century b.c. works of Julius Caesar and is of uncertain etymology. It was said by Strabo to derive from germānus (“close kin; genuine”), making it cognate with "germane" and "german", but this seems unsupported. Attempts to derive it from Germanic or Celtic roots are all problematic (although see Germany). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ɡɛrˈmaː.ni.a] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [d͡ʒerˈmaː.ni.a] === Proper noun === Germānia f sg (genitive Germāniae); first declension Germany in its various senses, including: (Classical Latin) the lands of the Germani, tribes living around the Rhine River in the 1st century b.c.
