Etymology: "Jägermeister" combines two German nouns: "Jäger," meaning hunter, and "Meister," meaning master, as in a skilled craftsman or expert. Literally it means "master hunter," a title that signals proven skill in the field. The hunting theme runs through the brand. The bottle's label shows a stag with a glowing cross between its antlers, an image associated with Saint Hubert, the patron saint of hunters.
