Erminio

An Italian form of the Ancient Roman name, Herminius, Erminio was a familiar choice in Brazil during the 20th century, perhaps reflecting the silent nature of the H- from the typical Portuguese spelling, Hermínio. While the exact origins of the name are uncertain, it is likely it comes from the name of the Greek messenger god, Hermes, though another theory is that it comes from Ermanno, the Italian form of Herman ("warrior, soldier").

Pronounced er-MIN-ee-oh.
