The small posters were super. So good, that about 75 of them went up on the wall outside of the classroom for the entire school to enjoy. The display stayed up during the month of October. Students were proud to see their posters displayed, and many non-German students came by to admire the display. From the required project, eight students then wrote shorts essays using the words they had located.
Many German names have their roots in the Germanic middle ages.
All social classes and demographic strata aided in the development of names. The earliest are the names derived from the place of dwelling and the location of the homestead. If a person or family migrated from one place to another, they were identified by the place they came from. The largest group and the most easily recognizable names are those derived from the vocation or profession of the first bearer. They tell you what the first bearer did for a living.
