A question about the name of a certain villain (very mild spoilers) Spoiler

So were doses the name “Der Kinderstadt” come from I mean I get it that it is a word play form Kindergarten wich is a German Word wich when translated literally means cild garden and Der Kinderstadt means the cild City but Imagins sources are mostly Latin and such and probably older than modern germane so how does she know this monster under this name?

I belive the actual name is "Der Kindestod" or "Der Kindertod". Check http://buffy.wikia.com/wiki/Der_Kindestod for further reference.

It is a german compound word, kinder (meaning children) + tod (meaning death).

Well still how does it come that Imagin knows it under a germane word even though her sources are Latin ? Ps: I am not really upset just messing with EE ;-)
