Diarmauid Origin and Meaning
The name Diarmauid is a boy's name.
Diarmauid appears to be a variant spelling of Diarmuid, a masculine name from Irish mythology. The traditional spelling Diarmuid (pronounced DEER-mid or DEER-mwid) means 'free from envy' or 'without enemy' in Irish Gaelic. In Irish legend, Diarmuid was a warrior of the Fianna and the lover of Gráinne in the tragic tale of 'The Pursuit of Diarmuid and Gráinne.' This alternative spelling Diarmauid is quite rare and may reflect a transliteration or regional variation. The name carries strong connections to Irish heritage and Celtic traditions. Despite its rich cultural background, this particular spelling variant remains extremely uncommon compared to the standard Diarmuid or the anglicized Dermot.
