Etymology edit
Derived from the Slavic word for “German” (Proto-Slavic *němьcь, *němьčьskъ). As a name borne by Germans it usually reflects two consecutive acculturations (first German > Slavic, then vice versa), which attests to the fact that both the Slavic western colonisation (of the early Middle Ages) and the German eastern colonisation (of the later Middle Ages) led to frequent intermixture.
