Hermia Origin and Meaning

The name Hermia is a girl's name of Greek origin meaning "messenger".

Though we've gotten used to Hermione via Harry Potter, and even Hermes with its godlike and fashion associations, most people would still have a problem with Hermia (too close to hernia?) and Herman.

On the other hand Hermia does have Shakespearean cred, as a character in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

I thought of the word "hernia" right away. I guess that people will think of Hermione too, but that was the second thing that came to mind for me. Not the most usable name.

Also, the stress is on the first syllable, just like the character from the Shakespeare play. So it's HER-mee-uh.

Her-me-uh. Like Hermes but replace the 's' with an 'uh' sound.
