ask-lola-cloudmaker: Huh, I didn't know German was a Spanish name.

My best bet is it originates from some nameless orphan who wandered all the way from the Teutonic lands into the Iberian peninsula and the locals were like

“Oye, quien ef efe fujeto que anda por la calle? Coño, no tengo idea como fe llama, fólo fe que le difen el Huérfano Germán”

and that shit got popularized somehow TT~TT
