Dermitt Origin and Meaning

The name Dermitt is a boy's name.

Dermitt is a masculine name with Celtic origins, primarily derived from the Irish name Diarmaid (also spelled Diarmuid or Dermot), meaning 'free from envy' or 'freeman.' This particular spelling variation adds a distinctive touch to the traditional name while maintaining its Irish heritage. In Irish mythology, Diarmuid was a warrior of the Fianna and the lover of Gráinne in the tale 'The Pursuit of Diarmuid and Gráinne,' one of Ireland's most famous love stories. Dermitt is considerably less common than Dermot or Diarmaid, giving it a unique quality while still connecting to its rich cultural history. The name carries connotations of bravery, romance, and independence, reflecting its mythological associations. Its Irish roots make it particularly appealing to those with Celtic heritage or appreciation for Irish culture.
