>Alaric
Latinized name, originally he was called Alrekr.

>Alaric
>Genseric
>Odoacer
These are Eastern Germanic names though, and Eastern Germans had been assimilated by Slavs for ages now. Fun fact: Vladimir is actually a Gothic name.

Most of the so called Germanic names are in fact Gaulish names be it Segorix, Teutomer, Boiorix, Ariovistus, Gesorix, Ariomanus, and so on

Odoacer was probably a Finn or Hun. He was of the Scirii and Turcilingi people.

Ancient Latin names:

>Julius
>Augustus

Modern Latin names:

What went wrong?

Marcus is still used

>Julius

Julio

>Augustus

Augusto

>Marcus

Marco

>Mario

Comes from "Marius"

>Luigi
>Guido

Both of Germanic origin ironically.

Not Germanic, it's a short form of Hebrew Johannes

Short forms of Friedrich and Bernhard

So a guy living in the Balkans in the 4th century AD would have used a medieval Norse version of his name. Interesting.

No, it was Alareiks in Gothic.
