Hermien

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: German

Meaning: Stone statue; Army man; Warrior; Of Hermes

Solid as rock, your little fighter deserves a name just as tough as they are. Hermien, a rather multifaceted moniker, originates in the German Herman and Greek Hermos and Hermione, much to the delight of any Harry Potter fans! Hermien is often used in Dutch as an alternative to Herman, which, in Old High German translates to "army man" from heriman. In Greek mythology, Hermien, Hermion, and Hermione find links to Hermes, son of Zeus and the renowned Olympian messenger. It is believed that Hermien has roots in the Greek word herma, meaning "stone sculpture." Picture these magnificent stone statues depicting great faces from the past, from great warriors to legendary rulers. Perhaps there will be a stone sculpture of your very own Hermien someday in the distant future!
