Origin: Irish

Meaning: Free man; Without envy, free from envy

As a certified member of the seven deadly sins, envy is something no human can be proud of despite often being guilty. Thankfully, Dermott is here, a “free man,” "free from envy," to battle the sin and prevail every time. An Irish masculine name, Dermott is famous on the little island after comedian Dermot Morgan entertained the Irish people for over 20 years. The irony, of course, is that Dermot's incredible wit almost surely drew envious glances from his utterly adoring public. Baby Dermott would be proud to share the name with such an Irish icon.
