Was this an American movie? There are more Americans of
German descent than any other European nationality (if one separates out the Scots and Welsh from the English :)), so you can make no assumptions about an American's given name being "
German" just because his surname is.
Remember that the American President with the most "Germanic" surname,
Dwight Eisenhower, had a given name that was definitely not
German.
