What is the meaning of the name Armands ?

The baby name Armands is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɑr.mands/ (AR-mands).

Armands is Latvian in Origin.

Armands is the Latvian masculine given name corresponding to French Armand, which arose as a Romance reshaping of the medieval Germanic name Hermann (from elements heri/harja “army” + man “man”). The sense is “man of the army,” often glossed as “warrior” or “soldier.”

In Latvia the -s nominative ending marks it clearly as native in form; the name entered regular use in the 20th century with broader European naming trends and remains familiar today, appearing in sports and the arts. Related forms include Armand (French/English), Armando (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), the German Hermann and English/German Herman, and the feminine Armande or Armanda. Spelling is stable in Latvian as Armands. While international in roots, the name reads unambiguously Latvian in context and carries a straightforward, strong meaning that appeals across generations.
