Armando is in Origin.

Armando is the Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese form of Armand, the French development of the Germanic Hermann (from heri ‘army’ + man ‘man’). The name conveys “man of the army,” broadly interpreted as “soldier” or “warrior,” a steadfast, martial image that has appealed across Romance-speaking cultures.

In use in Iberia and Italy by the early modern period through French influence, Armando spread widely to Latin America with migration and held steady mid-20th-century popularity. Cognates and variants include Armand (French), Herman/Hermann (English/German), Ermanno (Italian), and the feminine Armanda/Armande. Common short forms are Mando and, regionally, Armandito. The name is echoed in Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost (Don Adriano de Armado) and borne by notable figures such as Mexican songwriter Armando Manzanero and filmmaker Armando Iannucci, reinforcing its cross-cultural familiarity and dignified, traditional character.
