Herma Origin and Meaning

The name Herma is a girl's name.

Herma is a feminine name with Germanic and Greek origins. In its Germanic form, it's a shortened version of names containing the element 'herm,' meaning 'warrior' or 'soldier,' such as Hermina or Hermione. In Greek, it may derive from Hermes, the messenger god. Herma was moderately used in the early 20th century, particularly in German-speaking regions and among German immigrants to the United States, but has since become quite rare. The name carries a vintage charm with its soft sounds and classical roots. Some may associate it with 'herma,' a type of sculpture consisting of a head on a square pillar in ancient Greek art, adding a subtle artistic and cultural dimension to the name.
