Today's Ostfriesisch („East Frisian“) is actually not a Frisian but a German dialect. The name may be somewhat misleading. The Frisian Ostfriesisch got lost in the time period 1400 - 1550 AD. Frisian is only spoken in the hatched areas here:
Btw. Jupp is Joseph. The Frisians are horribly distorting the full forms of names.

You have the northern German full form Hinrich for Heinrich.
There's also a Germanic/German name Ludger that is almost exclusively used in Westphalia because it was a local saint (like Kilian in the Rhineland, the respective saint was an early Irish christian missionary, hence the somewhat odd name).
None of these will be used in Austria, I guess.

Ferdinand is an Austria-specific name. It’s a somewhat unfortunate Germanic re-import from Spain (Fernando/Hernando), likely by the Habsburg connections, and that ultimately hails from the Visigoths. It will originally have been Frednand or alike and it should be Friednand in common German.
Regionally unspecific but another unfortunate, not to say culturally embarrassing, Germanic re-import is Franz. It’s derived from Franciscus von Assisi, which just had a Latinised form of the Germanic/German name Frank.
I'd love to clean up the mess if I got entitled to do! Maybe not yet as a law but as an official guide that name-calls all cultural arbitrariness!

Roth,
I thought in your last avi that you looked like Justin Timberlake.
But I'm gonna disagree with Blondie on the Tom Selleck comment -- this one looks more like Burt Reynolds

Kilian does exist in Austria and actually became somewhat popular during the last few years as it's seen as a pleasant-sounding name.
You'd be happy with my parents, aunts' and uncles "Boomer" names: Gerald, Waltraud, Sieghard, Manfred, Gerhard, Sieglinde, etc.
I hope for your own well-being that your name is up to your extraordinary standards!
As for Swiss-specific names, since they were not yet mentioned, I can only think of Ruedi and Urs.
