In Spanish, a G followed by an E is pronounced like an English H. So "German", when pronounced in Spanish style, sounds like "Herman". So "German" is just the Spanish version of "Herman". "Herman" comes from an ancient German word meaning "soldier"- it's related to the modern German words "Heer" ("army") and "Mann" ("man"). The Spanish word for the German language is "Aleman" (pronounced like all-ay-mon), which comes from the name of an ancient German tribe.
