Quick facts
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I translate my name into German, Dutch or Scandinavian languages?
Type an English name into the search box. The tool compares traditional equivalents and related name forms in German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Icelandic.
Do personal names really translate between Germanic languages?
Not in the same way as ordinary vocabulary. Many long-established names developed related forms in different languages, such as William, Wilhelm, Willem and Vilhelm. Other international names may remain almost unchanged.
Which Germanic languages are included?
The tool currently includes German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Icelandic. English is used as the reference language for the names you type.
Is English also a Germanic language?
Yes. English belongs to the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family. This tool uses familiar English name forms as the starting point so they can be compared with other Germanic languages.
Why does one name sometimes have more than one equivalent?
Name traditions are not perfectly one-to-one. A language may preserve a formal form, a shorter traditional form and a modern international spelling at the same time. Where useful, the tool shows more than one established form.
