Why is rubella called german measles?


Why is rubella called german measles?

The word 'german' actually has nothing to do with the country but rather most likely emanated from the word' germanus' [meaning similar] - which rubella is...similar to measles.

don't know but you should 2 mmr shots. I had it as a kid, I was around Amish. I got both shots later on too bec IN law. I'm still immune. What really annoys me, is that when you're pregnant the Dr in the US always check you anyways to see if you're immune still. Once immune always a immune. They should stop tested for the German measles, it's way outdated

It's actually because the British named diseases after country's they didn't like ! German measles,Legionaries disease (France), Yellow fever(China), Dutch Elm disease,etc.etc. Sounds stupid but it's true.

Hope this helps.
