It's not like that, it works a bit different than in Japanese, I suppose, but they do have meanings, I just barely think about them, and thus, couldn't draw the connection right away. (Maybe because quite a few names commonly used in Germany are not of german origin, or the words those names were derieved from aren't in common use anymore, so it's a little hard to glean the meaning without doing research first.)

Are their origin Latin?
When I write “Der Name bedeutet Fisherman (or some other profession)”, would you understand what the sentence means easily? Verstand is not common for a meaning of a name. Is this right?
Do you know a name from Zimmermann?
Both German and English have the word [fisherman], and mean the same! Wow!

Oh, now that I see this. You might already know this, but just in case, if you can't type the german letters ä, ö and ü with your keyboard, you can use ae, oe and ue respectively, so instead of [Bis später] you can just write [Bis spaeter].
And with that said...Bis Später!
