Hermenegilda is Germanic in Origin.
Hermenegilda is the feminine form of the Visigothic-Germanic name Hermenegild, built from the elements ermen/irmin, meaning “whole, universal, immense,” and gild/geld, “payment, tribute, value.” The composite is often interpreted as “universal tribute” or “wholly pledged.” Through the Latinized Hermenegildus, the name entered Romance languages in the early medieval period, carried by Gothic elites in Iberia and reinforced in Christian memory by San Hermenegildo, the martyred Visigothic prince.
Usage of Hermenegilda clustered in Spain, Portugal, and their former colonies, with occasional 19th–20th century revivals in Catholic circles; it remains rare today. Variants and cognates include Spanish/Portuguese Hermenegilda, Italian Ermenegilda or Ermengilda, Catalan Ermengilda, and French Herménégilde (more often masculine). The related masculine forms are Hermenegild, Hermenegildo, and Ermengildo. Common short forms are Gilda and Hermi.
