etmyology of Germani

I was wondering about the etymology of the word Germani, and if
there is any truth in what Strabo said:"The Romans assigned to them the
name 'Germani,' as though they wished to indicate thereby that they were
'genuine' Galatae, for in the language of the Romans 'germani' means
'genuine.'

Thoughts anyone?
