Meaning & Origin of Hermia
Origin: Greek (via Shakespeare).
A common claim: means 'messenger' Actually: Hermes was the messenger god by role, but that's not an established translation of his name -- its root is actually disputed (one theory ties it to 'herma', a stone marker), so 'messenger' isn't a verified meaning.
