Meaning and history
Spanish and Portuguese feminine form of the Roman family name Herminius, of obscure Etruscan origin. The name achieved literary fame through Herminia, a Saracen princess in Torquato Tasso's 16th-century epic poem Jerusalem Delivered.
Herminia moved from #909 to #917 for girls between 1939 and 1940. Its highest annual birth count came in 1929, with 93 births.
