Herman is masculine given name, from a Germanic name consisting of the elements ''harja-'' "army" and ''mann-'' "man". It is first recorded in the 8th century, in the forms ''Hariman, Heriman, Hairman, Herman''.〔E. Förstemann, ''Altdeutsches Namenbuch'' (1856:(627 )).〕 The given name was taken to England by the Normans, but it became obsolescent as an English given name in the later Middle Ages (while remaining common in Germanic languages). It regained popularity in the Anglosphere in the 19th century, particularly in the United States.〔Katie Martin-Doyle, ''The Treasury of Baby Names'', Worth Press, Cambridge 2005. ISBN 978-1903025116〕 ''Herman'' remains widely used in Dutch. Variant forms include German ''Hermann'', French ''Armand'', Italian and Iberian ''Armando''.〔 Herman has also been in use as a German surname since the 16th century. The name of ''Arminius'', the 1st-century leader of the Cherusci, became identified with the name ''Hermann'' in German historiography in the early modern period; thus, Arminius is traditionally known as ''Hermann der Cheruskerfürst'' in German. The name of ''Arminius'' is in fact from a stem ''ermen-'' "strong". Conflation of this element with the name ''Herman'' may indeed date to the medieval period, via variant forms such as ''Ermin, Ermen, Erman'', feminine ''Ermina, Ermana, Hirmina, Hermena''.〔E.
