The names "Germanicus", "Germans", "Germany" come from the Latin
language: Germanicus - Germanicus; Germani - Germans, numerous tribes
that lived between the Rhine, Danube, Vistula and the North Sea;
Germania - Germany, an area east of the Rhine inhabited by Germanic
tribes. Which, in turn, goes back to such Latin words as: germane -
frankly, sincerely; germanitas (germanus) - brotherhood, close kinship,
kinship; germanus (germen) - native, real, genuine; germen - bud,
sprout, embryo, descendant; germino (germen) - let the sprouts grow. The
Austrians were the result of the numbness of the Slavs. Slavs have
created the state Self about 623. After its disintegration Slavs have
created a princedom in Carinthia (Horutania) which inhabitants lived on
farms. In the middle of the 8th century, the Slavs, who fought against
the Avars, became dependent on the Bavarians, then the Franks, and after
the collapse of the Carolingian Empire in 843, these lands, together
with Bavaria, went to the kingdom of the Eastern Franks, the future
Germany, which apparently called these territories "Austria" - "eastern
empire", from Ost - "east" and Reich - "empire".
