    Yes. For example South-Slavic origin in the Hungarian language (német): nemac = person with an incomprehensible language, basically the Greek "barbarian" word is the good analogy onto this.

    Russian Gherman is a derivate of German or Herrmann?
    I'm fairly sure it derives from germanus, ie "cousin", "parent".

    Technically technically those names derive from the Germanic word "frank" which means "free".

    Anatol and Anatoliy do come from the word Anatolia. In Greek it would be Anatolitis for males, Anatolitissa for females.
