Etymology of the name ARMINIUS.
Meaning of the baby name ARMINIUS.

  

ARMINIUS.  Latin name, meaning "public; universal."

When the Cheruschi, themselves Herminiones, broke the heart of Augustus by cutting off the legions of Quinctilius Varus, their leader was Arminius, probably Irman or Eorman, though after-generations explained it as Heerman or Armyman.  So that the hosts of Hermans, named when national feeling was roused by French invasion, are in his honour; previously, the Dutch Jacob Hermannsen had rendered himself into Latin as Arminius.  (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
