- El prenom germànic és el nom propi usat per designar una persona a les societats antigues que s'obtenia habilitant un nom comú, un adjectiu o una expressió al·lusius a alguna característica de la persona a qui s'aplicava, o bé al que es desitjava que fos el nen o la nena quan fos gran, perquè el nom se li imposa quan encara és petit.

- Germanic given names are traditionally dithematic; that is, they are formed from two elements, by joining a prefix and a suffix. For example, King Æþelred's name was derived from æþele, for "noble", and ræd, for "counsel". However, there are also names dating from an early time which seem to be monothematic, consisting only of a single element. These are sometimes explained as hypocorisms, short forms of originally dithematic names, but in many cases the etymology of the supposed original name cannot be recovered. The oldest known Germanic names date to the Roman Empire period, such as those of Arminius and his wife Thusnelda in the 1st century, and in greater frequency, especially Gothic names, in the late Roman Empire, in the 4th to 5th centuries (the Germanic Heroic Age). A great variety of names are attested from the medieval period, falling into the rough categories of Scandinavian (Old Norse), Anglo-Saxon (Old English), continental (Frankish, Old High German and Low German), and East Germanic (see Gothic names) forms. By the High Middle Ages, many of these names had undergone numerous sound changes and/or were abbreviated, so that their derivation is not always clear. Of the large number of medieval Germanic names, a comparatively small set remains in common use today. In modern times, the most frequent name of Germanic origin in the English-speaking world has traditionally been William (from an Old High German Willahelm), followed by Robert and Charles (Carl, after Charlemagne). Many native English (Anglo-Saxon) names fell into disuse in the later Middle Ages, but experienced a revival in the Victorian era; some of these are Edward, Edwin, Edmund, Edgar, Alfred, Oswald and Harold for males; the female names Mildred and Winifred also continue to be used in present day, Audrey continues the Anglo-Norman (French) form of the Anglo-Saxon Æðelþryð, while the name Godiva is a Latin form of Godgifu. Some names, like Howard and Ronald, are thought to originate from multiple Germanic languages, including Anglo-Saxon. (en)
- L'onomastica germanica comprende una vastissima schiera di nomi originatisi all'interno delle lingue germaniche, quelle cioè parlate dalle tribù che dalla Scandinavia andarono a stabilirsi nell'Europa centrale. (it)
- Imiona germańskie – imiona wywodzące się z kręgu kultury germańskiej, z języków germańskich. Dawne imiona germańskie składały się najczęściej z dwóch niezwiązanych ze sobą gramatycznie składników, np. Fryderyk (fridu „obrona, pokój” + richi „potężny, książę”), Henryk (heim „dom”+ richi), Ludwik (hlut „głośny, słynny” + wig „walka”). (pl)
