Origin, Meaning, And History Of Armani
Armani is an Italian, English unisex name of Persian and Hebrew origin. According to some sources, the name may have originated from an Italian surname that means ‘Son of Ermanno.’ Ermanno is an Italian form of Herman, meaning ‘army man.’ The name Herman is derived from the Old High German terms heri, meaning ‘army,’ and man, meaning ‘person.’
Some believe the name Herman was already in use before the Norman Conquest and gradually faded over time. However, the name was later revived in the 19th century and became popular in the English-speaking world.
One of the most well-known bearers of the name is the American writer Herman Melville, who authored the book, Moby Dick. The name was also borne by an Orthodox monk, Herman of Alaska, who was an 18th-century Russian missionary to Alaska.
Armani is commonly associated with the meaning ‘warrior’ due to its connection with the term ‘army man.’ However, due to its counterparts in other languages, it has also been linked with different meanings, including faith, belief, and dream.
Originally used as a surname, the name has evolved into a given name. Notable bearers of the Armani surname include Pier Martire Armani, Luciano Armani, and Eduardo Armani. Iconic luxury fashion brand Giorgio Armani, commonly known as Armani, is another noteworthy bearer of this surname.
Armani is phonetically spelled as ‘ARE-MA-KNEE’ or ‘ahr-MAHN-ee.’ This pronunciation is commonly used in Argentina and other Spanish-speaking countries. The variants of this name in other languages include Armand (Catalan and French), Herman (Danish, English, Norwegian, and Swedish), Hermanus (Dutch), Armin (German), Armando (Italian), and Ármin (Hungarian).
