The term "German" comes from Latin (Roman) sources. The Assyrians occupied a Mesopotamian city on the lower Tigris River called "Kir" and placed captive slaves there (also referenced in 2 Kings 16:9, Isaiah 22:5-6, Amos 1:5, 9:7). The city was populated by the Assyrians for many years, and the inhabitants became known as "Kir-man." The Assyrians (Kerman) were driven from their land shortly after their fall about 610 B.C. They migrated into central Europe where they were called "German" or "Germanni," a general name used by the Romans to represent all Assyrian tribes. The known Assyrian tribes were the Khatti (also, Chatti, Hatti and Hessian)—Chatti is still the Hebrew term for German, and Khatti was also used by the Romans to represent various Germanic tribes; the Akkadians (Latins called them Quadians); the Kassites (or Cossaei); and the Almani (or Halmani, Allemani was the Latin name). Almani or Almain were historical terms for Germans living in southern Germany. Without question, these Assyrian Germans assimilated with the previously established tribes of Askaeni (descendants of Gomer) and adopted their Indo-European language, becoming one people. http://www.soundchristian.com/man/

Where Did Germany Get It's Name From?
I thought this was interesting as I read from an article called, 'The Table of Nations' by Tim Osterholm. He explains the origin of the term 'German' and how this name came to be.

Today in History - April 22, 1934 - Gangster Kills FBI Agent
Today in the year of 1934, Gangster George 'Baby Face' Nelson killed FBI agent W. Carter Baum during a raid. George Nelson was born Lester Gillis, and retained his 'baby face' as he retained his youthful look. In 1929, Nelson joined Al Capone's gang, and was later kicked out of the gang because of his unpredictable violent behavior.
After living many years in criminal behavior, he ended up in Illinois where he was spotted while driving. He ended up in a gunfight with two FBI agents, and he shot and killed them. The next day Nelson's body was found in a ditch. He had been on the run since he killed FBI agent Baum, months prior to this.
