I met a man named German (with rising accent over the e). He pronounced it her-MAHN. I looked here, but all I found was German, no accent. I suspect the names are linked in some way, but I'd like more information on this particular variation.

The gentleman looked and sounded as if he were Greek, and the H sound for the G should be considered. I wanted to ask him for sure where he was born, but I thought that would be rude.

I'd appreciate some help, if anyone can offer some.
