German. Literally, a children's garden. The first was established by Friedrich Froebel, who became known as the "Father of Kindergarten", in Germany in 1837.

German.
Kinder, means children. It is related to the English 'kin' which means 'of blood relation.' The -er is a German suffix meaning 'person who is/does."
Garten is the German form of "Garden." It literally means "Child's Garden."

Kindergarten = Kinder (children) + garten (garden).
The words are German. I would guess that is where the tradition started.
