Unlike the English naming system where the first name is the individual's call name, Germans use their middle name as their call name, which would be the reason a Johann Erhardt ZIMMERMAN would be Anglicized to Arehart J. SIMMERMAN. A German's first name is his saint's name, the most popular of which is, by far, Johann, so be prepared for him to appear in his earlier records as John A.
