'Alamanni' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'Alamanni,' where 'Ala-' meant 'all' and 'manni' meant 'men.'

'Alamanni' changed from the Latin word 'Alamanni' and eventually became the modern English word 'Alamanni'.

Initially, it meant 'all men,' referring to a confederation of tribes, and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
