Oh come on! Arminius was a Roman name - we dont know his German one. Definitely it was not "Hermann", cause thats a modern name. Many relatives carried a Seg- in their name, so maybe Arminius too.
And here I was thinking Germans would be miffed that I called a national hero by a Roman name. Yes, I know it's what the moderns calls him, and he was called Arminius while serving Rome. He had a brother named (by Romans) Flavus, who never joined him, didn't he?
