About Hermione
Hermione's costarring role in Harry Potter has made this previously ignored, once stodgy name suddenly viable. Hermione could really take off once today's children start having kids of their own.
In ancient Greek myth, Hermione is the daughter of Spartan King Menelaus and his wife Helen; in pre-Potter lit, the name appears in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale and in Walter Scott's novel The Fortunes of Nigel.
Pronounced her-MY-uh-nee.
As of October 2026, Hermione ranked #2008 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1591 in 1898, Nameberry popularity #813.
