The meaning of the word Germany is the same as of the Spanish word hermano, for brother, also the etymological origin of the name of the Greek god Hermes, his land boundary-markers herms, each a pillar on-top of which was the statue of the head of the brother, the land owner. The German name for their homeland, Deutsche land, is from teut in Teutonic meaning tribe, such as the Tuatha de Danaan (tribe of Dan), invaders of Ireland over three thousand years ago.
