Meaning & Origin of Hermione
Origin: Ancient Greek (feminine form related to Hermes).
A common claim: Often glossed as meaning 'messenger' (from Hermes) or 'earthly.' Actually: The 'messenger' gloss projects Hermes' mythological role onto his name; linguists don't actually agree on what Ἑρμῆς/Ἑρμιόνη etymologically means.
