What is the meaning of the name Armand ?

The baby name Armand is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /aʁmɑ̃/.

Armand is French, Germanic in Origin.

Armand is the French form of the Germanic masculine name preserved in Old High German as Heriman or Hariman. Its two elements are heri, army, and man, man or person; Romance transmission lost the initial h and nasalized the ending in French. The written final -d is not part of the Germanic compound. The literal sense is army man, commonly glossed soldier.

French records use it as both given name and surname from the medieval period onward, with a saintly association in Herman, also called Armand in French sources. Aristocratic and clerical bearers include Armand Jean du Plessis, Cardinal Richelieu. Literary use strengthened its French profile: Armand Duval in La Dame aux Camélias and Armand St. Just in The Scarlet Pimpernel. Cognates include Hermann, Herman, Harman, Armando, Ermanno, and Latvian Armands; English usage has been comparatively modest.
