Hermia Origin and Meaning

The name Hermia is a girl's name of Greek origin meaning "cairn, pile of stones, boundary marker".

Though we've gotten used to Hermione via Harry Potter, and even Hermes with its godlike and fashion associations, most people would still have a problem with Hermia (too close to hernia?) and Herman.

On the other hand Hermia could have potential: it has Shakespearean cred, as a character in A Midsummer Night's Dream; it fits in with the rise of Greek mythology names such as Atlas and Athena; and it leads to familiar nickname Mia.
