About Hermia
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 could have potential: it has Shakespearean cred, as a character in A Midsummer Night's Dream; it fits in with the rise of Greek mythology names such as Atlas and Athena; and it leads to familiar nickname Mia.
Pronounced HER-mee-uh.
As of October 2026, Hermia ranked #5143 in US births in 1918 SSA, peaked at #2008 in 1904.
