POPULAR NAMES Pronounced in German & English (Part 2)

[@DeanaandPhil]

It's pretty interesting hearing a name pronounced differently in another language! 🤗💜 I think 'Paul' in German is still the coolest difference. ► Check out “POPULAR NAMES Pronounced in GERMAN & ENGLISH! (Part 1): kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4DJYpiIpdKiZqs

German pronunciations are so similar to Spanish pronunciation. We pronounce J like Y and roll our R. Also, H is silent is Spanish.

[@michaelgrabner8977]

"Gretchen" (=literally "little Grete") is already the nickname for "Grete" which is the shorform of "Margarete" I once knew a "Marianne" called "Jane" in german pronuciation.

[@TremereTT]

Gretchen IS the Nickname for Greta! Not the other way around. Gretchen is the diminuitive form of Greta. It's obvious AF. The best family name....my son had a class mate with the name Alexa von Hinten...incredible that this family name is allowed.

Oder Eine Richtung with their song Was dich schön macht.

[@ninjakeks9326]

"Buben" is very old or used in Bavaria, Austria and may Switzerland. No other federal state than Bavaria says "Bub" or "Bube" anymore. It's "Junge" in singular, "Jungs" or "Jungen" in plural. Same for "Gören" - it is.... meant derogatory. It would more likely be "Mädchen". So they are "Strandjungs" and "Gewürzmädchen".

Well, we Germans do the same, though less frequently for English people and for people of the younger history. But we commonly speak e.g. of Christoph Columbus instead of Cristobal Colombe, of Magellan instead of Magellanes, of Johanna von Orleans instead of Jeanne d'Arc, of Ludwig dem sechzehnten instead of Louis Seize, of Zar Peter der Große instead of Pjotr ... whatever the Great would be in Russian

My grandma was called ‚Oma Gretchen‘ but her actual name was Margarete. So Gretchen is kinda a nickname 🥰 I‘m from the north of the Harz ✌🏻

[@Anson_AKB]

one of my aunts was Margarete, called Grete, and as usual in german "-chen" is "the little one". thus Gretchen (and also Gretel, see "Hänsel & Gretel") is the "little Margarete", and Hänsel is the little Hans.

[@andreasrehn7454]

Anson and Hans is actually the nickname for Johannes.

[@jannicfreis4472]

In the tragic play "Faust" written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, one of the female characters is called Margarete at first but later on she is called Gretchen, therefore I would say, Gretchen is a nickname for Margarete.

In regards to Frederik, which is the Nether German version of the name, you could also mention the high German version Friedrich (both mean: the peaceful one, literally "peace rich") Erik and Erich are also the nether German and the high German versions of the same name (the honorable, literally: honor rich)

[@ChrisS-cj6xh]

Den Namen Gretchen habe ich zuletzt bei Goethe gehört. Die "Gretchenfrage" aus Faust I.

[@xLittleulipx]

Omg ja 🤣

[@Nikioko]

Gretchen is already a nickname for Margarethe. Eugen would be Yevgeniy in Russian. Lotte... Charlotte, Lieselotte Jan. Dutch and Polish version of John, Johannes. And Jane/Joan likewise is Johanne/Johanna in German. Klaus is the nickname for Nikolaus, same as in the US where Santa Claus is originally Saint Nicholas. And K is correct, as Nikolaos is originally a Greek name written with kappa. And Fredrick in German is of course Friedrich or Fritz. And Kathrin is just short for Katharina.

[@brittakriep2938]

From many german names different versions exist, for example:Johannes, Johann, John, Hannes, Hanns, Hans. Nikolaus, Nicolas,Klaus. Heinrich, Hinrich,Heinz,Hein, Hinnerk, Heiner. And many geman names exist in other germanic languages, even rare ones. Norwegian: Vidkun/ german: Widukind.

[@juoz284]

Jan/John are northern European. Same as Jane/Janne only Joan seems to be English. Frederik (without c) is a pretty old north German (niederdeutsch) version of Friedrich. There is also a female version of it, Frederike.

Gretchen as a birth name is extremely rare in Germany. I don't know if it even exists. Most women who are nicknamed Gretchen by their familiy and friends actually are named Gretel or Margarethe. Gretel is very old fashioned, Margarethe is also found in younger women. Older Margarethes are often nicknamed Gretel, while young Margarethes tend to be nicknamed Maggy (pronounced Mäggi). Greta was old fashioned in Germany for decades but in recent years the name is coming back from Scandinavia and there are more Gretas born again. I think Jane is an English short form of Julianne. Juliane (with one n) is extremely old fashioned in German, it got totally replaced by Julia. Jana actually is a female version of Jan. Old German Erich is mostly replaced by Erik and Eric. Sounds more modern. Irene is very old fashioned in German, but Irena or Irina is coming strong from eastern Europe and I really like these versions. I also like the English pronounciation of Irene very much.

[@Hirndille]

Many german names have regional alterations. For example Klaus, which is a short version of Nikolaus: there is Claus, Claes, Claas, Klaas. Klaas, Claas and Claes are the netherlands forms, which are also used in northern germany. Gretchen is the pet name of Grete or Greta, which is a short version of Margaret(h)e.

[@kaniyaru117]

Usually things like bands or song titles obviously don't get translated... that would be hard on so many levels, nobody would know who you are talking about haha "Hey, have you heard the new song by the Jonas Brüder?" "...Who?" "You know, that boyband of brothers." "Oooh. The Jonas Brothers." "... Who?"

[@ninjakeks9326]

Gretchen is actually a German diminutive for Grete or Gerta. The -chen marks that - it's a typical diminutive ending like in Häuschen, Bärchen, or Mäuschen :) I would accentuate all the vowels in Oliver in German, mostly the E but... well. The written form "Emile" is actually french. And yeah, it's pronunced with a accentuated, long I :) And "Neverland" from Peter Pan is translated to "Niemalsland" (or "Niemandsland" but that is an inaccurate translation) in the German version ;)

Wieder ein nettes Video! Namen von Leuten in Filmen werden häufig nicht ins Deutsche übersetzt, weil der Englische eher bekannt ist. Unter Anderem auch "Walter White". Oder auch in Serien/Comics, auch wenn es nur der Nachname ist und der Vorname gleich geschrieben aber deutsch ausgesprochen wird, wie "Donald Duck" zum Beispiel, den jeder kennt. Sowas fällt einem aber auch nur auf wenn direkt darauf achtet, bzw. im Nachhinein darüber nachdenkt. Des weiteren würde ich gerne mal hören was ihr zum Namen "John"/"Johannes" und deren verschiedenen Versionen im Englischen so alles wisst, ebenso mit "Anton". Würde mich sehr freuen, da ich Selbst "Johannes Anton Theodor" heiße! ^^ (Und ja, "Teo" schreibt man im Deutschen öfter ohne das H, aber "Theodor" eher mit. And yes, having three first names is a thing.)

Gretchen is a nickname for Greta, not the other way round. But at least in southern Germany there was never a Gretchen out of Goethe's Faust, only a Gretel (like in Hänsel and Gretel, which would be nicknames for Hans and Greta). I think Greta is something like a Swedish variant of Gertrude/Gerta, but I'm not sure about that. We got a politician named Annegret, though, which is a composition of the biblical Anna and the germanic Greta.

There is no German version of "Ethan". But it's the name of a hydrocarbon. German "Ethan" (or "Äthan") is the English "ethane", C2H6. German "E", normal "t" (no "th"), long German "a" and "n". Much more commonly known is the allied alcohol: "Ethanol", also known als "Äthylalkohol" or just "Alkohol".
