Armindo is Portuguese in Origin.
Armindo is a Portuguese and Galician masculine given name whose roots lie in medieval adaptations of Germanic anthroponyms of the Ermin-/Armin- group (Proto-Germanic *erminaz "great, whole, universal"). In Iberia these forms interacted with Herman/Armando-type names, so the name is variously interpreted as "great, universal" and, by folk etymology, "army protector/man." Closely related or variant forms include Armínio/Arminio and Armin; regional cognates Hermindo/Ermindo also appear. The established feminine is Arminda. Common short forms are Mindo and Mindinho.
Documented in parish registers of Portugal and Galicia, Armindo traveled throughout the Portuguese-speaking world and saw modest 19th and 20th century use in Portugal, Brazil, and Lusophone Africa. It remains familiar yet uncommon today, often chosen in honor of an ancestor or as a traditional alternative to Armin/Armínio.
