Definition: The word "Germany" is a German term meaning "land". It originates from the Latin phrase, "Germania," which means "land." The Germanic languages have their own forms for certain words that have evolved into similar meanings in English. For example, the word "England" comes from the Anglo-Saxon name "Angeli", which translates to "God's people." Similarly, the word "Scotland" comes from the Old Norse name "Sollan" which means "land of Sallin," which is a Germanic tribe. The term "Germany" was first used in English by the 19th century German linguist Hans Steiner. The word came into common usage when it was introduced as an adjective to describe all nations and people that are located in what is now known as Germany, also commonly referred to as the "Germanic world". Today, the term Germany includes many different countries and regions, including parts of Europe such as Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and even Australia.
