Hermia
Hermia is a feminine given name, best known from Shakespeare's *A Midsummer Night's Dream*, where she is one of the young Athenian lovers.
The name derives from Hermes, the Greek messenger god.
It remains rare outside literary contexts: She was named Hermia after her mother's favorite Shakespeare character.
