IRMIN. The name of an old Saxon deity. He is
supposed to have been an analogue of the Scandinavian deity Tyr,
which see. (An Archaic Dictionary, Cooper, 1876). Variously rendered "a demi-god," "a warrior," "mighty, powerful," "public,
universal,
the whole of mankind," "very large." Also see Eorman,
and Irman.
... The name of Arminius,
Armin, Ermin,
or Irmin, is not, as some writers have supposed, the same as Herman; this opinion, as Foerstemann observes, is to be considered as
now completely set aside. It is a simple, not a compound word; its
root is arm, erm, irm—the ending in being only phonetic;
its meaning, as Grimm observes, is altogether obscure. Many names
compounded from it occur in the genealogies of the kings of Kent and
Mercia, as Eormenric,
Eormenred, Eormengild,
&c. There are traces of Irmin as the name of a deity in the
ancient German mythology. (The Teutonic Name-system, Ferguson,
1864)
