Armindah is Germanic, Indonesian in Origin.

Armindah is a feminine name with intertwined Iberian and Southeast Asian associations. Most often it is a variant spelling of Arminda, used in Portugal, Spain, and Brazil throughout the 20th century. Arminda likely arose as the feminine of Armindo, ultimately from the Germanic element ermen/irmin “whole, universal,” paired with the softening -lind/-inda “gentle, tender”; some traditions also connect it to Armanda, the feminine of Armando from Germanic roots meaning “army, man,” hence “warrior; protector.” These strands yield readings such as “universally gentle” or “strong, protective.”

In Malaysia and Indonesia, the -ah ending feels native, and the second element echoes the Malay/Indonesian word indah “beautiful,” a folk association that lends the name a graceful nuance. Variants and short forms include Arminda, Minda, and Armi. Related, though etymologically distinct, are Armanda, Ermelinda, and Armenian/Persian Armine/Armina.
