The name Armide is a girl's name of French origin.

Armide is a French name, based on the literary name, Armida, likely invented by Torquano Tasso for his poem, <em>Jerusalem Delievered</em>, borne by an enchantress who beguiles the crusaders. This particular form appears in operas by Jean-Baptiste Lully and Christoph Willibald Gluck, both based on the poem.
<br></br>
As a literary creation, the exact meaning of the name is unknown, but theories include that it is based on Amada or Amata ("beloved"), Armanda ("army woman"), Arminia ("whole, universal"), Artemisia or Artemidora ("gift of Artemis"), or Amadea ("loved by God").
