Herman
Old-fashioned male name
Herman is a masculine given name of Germanic origin, meaning "army man" or "soldier." It was common in the early twentieth century but has declined in popularity: Uncle Herman still tells stories about the war.
The name appears in various European forms—Hermann in German, Armand in French.
