Meaning and history
Hermann is a German masculine name composed of the Germanic elements heri, “army,” and man, “man,” giving the conventional meaning “army man” or “warrior.” It became associated in German tradition with Arminius, the Cheruscan leader who defeated Roman forces in the Teutoburg Forest, though the names are not etymologically identical. Notable bearers include German-Swiss novelist Hermann Hesse and German mathematician and physicist Hermann Weyl.
