I was reading the debate that users had on Erens last name on this website. I know the debate is over and I read most of the discussion, but where the hell does Yeager come from? when the name Jaeger makes more sense and was imposed by the author. Jaeger and Jäger are the same word, the umlaut on the 'a' simply adds an 'e' after it rather then how we spell in English with words such as cake, if you would just use Germanic grammar then it would be cäk (this isn't the translation just an example of the rule).

Jäger also means hunter in Dutch and German so it would make  great sense to give such a  name to Eren and was the authors intent, unfortunately I think poor scanlations or literal character translations led some of us to think it as Yeager.

Im not an expert in German but I do know about this grammar use because I speak Dutch.
