Armine is Armenian in Origin.

Armine is a feminine given name prominent in Armenian use (Armenian: Արմինե, often written Arminé or Armineh). It is connected with the ethnonym Armen/Armenia and with the legendary forebears Aram and Armenak, so Armenian speakers commonly gloss it as “Armenian woman,” “from Armenia,” or “of Aram’s line.” The name rose to steady popularity in the 20th century in Armenia and remains familiar across the Armenian diaspora.

Beyond Armenian circles, Armine appears in English records both as a surname and a rare given name. In that context it may reflect the medieval Germanic element ermin/irmin, “great, universal,” seen in Hermine and Ermine; the Armine family of Lincolnshire produced several 17th-century baronets, and the given name turns up occasionally (even for men) in Victorian Britain. Variants and related forms include Armineh, Arminé, Armene, Armina, Hermine/Hermina, Ermine/Ermina, and Armin; diminutives such as Armi and Mina are used informally.
