About Erminie

Erminie is a feminine name with French and Germanic origins, derived from the Old German 'Irmina' or 'Ermina,' meaning 'whole' or 'universal.' This elegant name was moderately popular during the Victorian era but has since become quite rare. Erminie appears in literature, notably in the poetic work 'Erminie, or the Gypsy's Vow.' It shares etymological roots with names like Erma and Irma. The name carries a delicate, vintage charm that might appeal to parents seeking something uncommon with historical depth. Its refined sound and classical feel make it a distinctive choice, though its rarity means most people will be unfamiliar with it. Erminie offers a sophisticated alternative to more common vintage revivals.

Pronounced ur-MIN-ee.

As of October 2026, Erminie ranked #4755 in US births in 1930 SSA, peaked at #2164 in 1907.
