Hermi is in Origin.

Hermi is a rare, cross-linguistic diminutive used for several names of Greek and Germanic origin. As a short form of Hermes, Hermione, or Hermine, it goes back to Greek herma, “boundary marker, cairn,” and by extension to the swift messenger god; meanings often gloss as “boundary stone” or “messenger.” When stemming from Herman/Hermann - or the Iberian Herminio/Herminia - it inherits the Germanic elements heri “army” + man “man,” yielding the sense “warrior” or “army man.” The name is therefore unisex and its nuance depends on the root.

In German-speaking Europe and the Netherlands, Hermi appears in parish and civil records as a familiar name for Hermine/Hermann, while in Spain and Latin America it commonly shortens Herminia/Herminio. Since the late 20th century it is very occasionally used independently, valued for its brisk, friendly sound. Close variants include Hermie and Hermy; related forms are Hermes, Hermione, Hermine, Herman/Hermann, Herminia, and Herminio.
