About the name Hermínio
Behind the Name gives Hermínio as the Portuguese form of Latin Herminius, a Roman family name said to be of unknown Etruscan origin, but which could also derive from the name of the god Hermes; Wiktionary also gives Herminius as of Etruscan origin, and so the meaning of the name is uncertain. Erminio is the Italian form of the same name, without the initial H, and Herminio is the Spanish form; the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) lists Erminio as a spelling variant of Herminio. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 4,722 people named Hermínio and 2,812 named Erminio, with a median age of 63 in both spellings.
It is the most common spelling in the group, with an initial H and an acute accent on the second I.
