Frequently asked
Can I give my child any name in Germany?
No. The registry office checks that the name is recognisable as a first name and does not harm the child's wellbeing.
How many first names can a child have?
Germany has no fixed legal limit; registry offices usually accept up to five.
Where do your meanings come from?
From etymological reference works. Treat them as origin stories, not definitions.
Do you make money from this site?
Yes — through affiliate links marked with an asterisk and clearly labelled adverts. The name database is and stays free.
