What is the meaning of the name Armante ?

Armante is Germanic in Origin.

Armante is a rare Romance-tinged variant linked to Armand (French) and Armando (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian), names that trace back to the Germanic Hariman/Hermann: heri “army” + man “man.” The core meaning is “man of the army,” often interpreted as “warrior” or “soldier.” The -e ending echoes French orthography and Romance patterns, which likely encouraged its emergence as a stylistic or regional spelling. Sparse church and civil records in Iberia and Latin America from the late 19th century onward show Armante as an occasional given name.

Usage remains uncommon compared with Armand and Armando, though it appears in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities and among diaspora families seeking a distinctive twist. Variants and relatives include Armand, Armando, Armande (feminine), Armin, and Herman; occasional spellings such as Armanté or Armant surface. Nicknames may follow Armando’s set - Mando or Manny - or the shorter Arman.
