Wer - who
Haben - the verb 'to have, having'

False friend - a word that looks or sounds similar in two languages, but does not share the same meaning

'Wer' means 'where' in English because it sounds the same.
'Wer' means 'who' in English. Words that sound identical but have different meanings are called false friends and we should be aware of them.
