Help[Facts] Re: What does the name Germelina mean?
in reply to a message by I like old names
Germen, in Dutch and Frisian, means German. Germelina would be a female form of that name - perhaps just because it was a name her parents liked, or because the family was originally German themselves, or to honour a relative or friend named Germen.

Well, her parents were Filipino, like my grandmother's, and I doubt there would have been any Dutch or Frisian people named Germen in a random town in the province in the 1920s. Thanks anyway, though! :)
