Meaning & origin
Armine is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1914. While it has never been common, its peak year of 1914 saw the highest recorded usage, after which the name has remained stable but extremely infrequent. The name's one-in-N ratio is unavailable due to its rarity, but it is estimated that fewer than five babies per year receive the name in recent decades. Armine has no recorded top states, indicating a scattered, low-level presence across the country. With no clear linguistic origin, Armine may be a creative spelling of Armin or a variant of the Latin-Celtic name Arminius, or possibly an Armenian name adapted into English.
Armine is a rare name with multiple potential origins. It may be a feminine variant of Armin, itself a German name derived from the Latin Arminius, the name of a Cheruscan chieftain. Alternatively, it could be a variant of Hermione or a modern coinage from Armenian roots. The name saw slight use in the early 20th century in the United States, peaking in 1914.
