Therman

Therman is a masculine name of Germanic origin, likely a variant of the name Sherman, which derives from the Old English 'scīrmann,' meaning 'shearer' or 'cutter of cloth.' Alternatively, it may be related to the German name Hermann, from 'heri' (army) and 'mann' (man). Therman has never been widely common but saw some usage in the United States in the early to mid-20th century. It has an old-fashioned, distinguished quality that carries echoes of a bygone era. The name's rarity today gives it a distinctive character for contemporary use. With its strong consonant sounds and traditional masculine feel, Therman projects reliability and steadfastness, qualities valued in traditional naming patterns.

Pronounced THER-mun.
