Alternate names for Germany

Interesting. The Germans who settled in medieval Serbia and Bosnia - as well as the larger community settled in Hungary - were also most often called Saxons (Sasi), even though many of them apparently came from the Rhineland and other regions. I wonder how Saxons became the "face" of Germany in so many different environments.
Hungarian uses the term "sváb" (Swabian) for the old German community in Hungary.
 
What could you think of ? In English it is called Germany, obviously because of Germanians, Allemania or similiar it is called in many other countries, too. In German language Germany is called Deutschland. There are often references to the Roman definition Teutonia, and Germans called Teutons. Terra teutonorum would mean "Land of the Teutons" in Latin , if im correct.

Here´s some creativity: Maybe Ottonia, if the Ottonian line did not die out after Otto III. Then we might have the Holy Ottonian Empire and maybe the "Duitsch" word somehow gets swallowed and the Germans/Deutsche/Alleman are reffered as Ottonians in later time ?
 
Tuskia, a crude corruption of 'Tyskland' spoken by Danish sailors when a Meiji-esque period in British history opened up the island nation to European relations for the first time in half a millennium. Still the official name of the country in modern Anglish.
 
Something derived from the Suebi could be possible (Swabia, Swebia, etc.), since apparently a good deal of Germanic tribes were called Suebi regardless of their actual relation to the actual Suebi people. Seems like it makes as much sense as "Alamannia".
 
if this would be anywhere near a possibility, fluent speakers will correct, but how about Land of the People, or Volksland? Or is that too contrived?

Volksland.
Folksland.
Falkland.
Mind=blown.

Another name could be just Allmany, as forcedly convergent it might sound. "The Allmans (Allmen?) in Allmany speak Allman."
Saxland. Doysland. Wendety. Venice (M=b). Dutchmark. Wen(d)mark. The possibilities are huge.
Also, just Teuton. Eton, Princeton, Teuton, they're all the same...
 
If Germany was called Dutchland in English, what would be the English adjective used for something from the Netherlands? The Netherlandic language?

Probably either Netherlandic, Flemish, or Hollandish (all of which were at one time used to describe the language).

Sure. Or, the Netherlands might never exist, and *Dutch becomes part of the bloated pan-German dialect continuum (TTL "Dutch", I suppose), with the regional "dialects" of Flemish, Hollandic, Brabantian, etc. Or, Germany splits early in its history into northern and southern countries, leading to the development of two different standards, northern "Saxon" (OTL Dutch and Low German) and southern "Franconian" (Allemannic, Franconian, Bavarian) languages.
