Actually the English translation for diskant is treble of which the simple definition is:

the highest range of sounds used in music and a voice or instrument that has the highest range of sound

The full definition is: 1-- a: the highest voice part in harmonic music : soprano

b one that performs a treble part; also : a member of a family of instruments having the highest range

c:a high-pitched or shrill voice, tone, or sound

d:the upper half of the whole vocal or instrumental tonal range — compare bass

e:the higher portion of the audio frequency range in sound recording and broadcasting

2--:something treble in construction, uses, amount, number, or value

And the German translation for Dickhead is is dick Kopf which means being stubborn

Thanks.

Etymology of names is an interest of mine.

“Treble”, eh? Fairly unusual.
