Erminda Origin and Meaning

The name Erminda is a girl's name.

Erminda is a feminine name with roots in Germanic languages, likely derived from elements meaning "whole, universal" (erm-) combined with "linden tree" or "shield" (-linda). It may also have connections to Spanish and Portuguese traditions, possibly as a variant of Herminda or Arminda.

The name has maintained modest usage in Spanish-speaking countries and communities with Portuguese heritage. Some might see Erminda as carrying an elegant, somewhat old-world charm with its flowing sound and romantic quality, but others will find it as dated and flat-footed as Herman.

No baby girls were named Erminda in the US last year.
