I was looking up a name and stumbled upon this one as often happens, lol. I think I named a secondary characters child this in the novel I am currently writing. The meanings are super pretty and this name is just so beautiful all around. It is short, sweet and interesting.

Armin

Meaning: (Soldier, Man in the Army, derived from the element ‘Ermen’ meaning “Whole, Immense, Universal”. Variant of Herman. The name was recorded by the Roman historian Tacitus as the form Arminius (Latin), which could have been an old Latinized form of Herman. Arminius (18 BC-21 AD) was an ancient chieftain of the Germanic tribe Cherusci who defeated the Roman army in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Like Herman, the name saw a rise in popularity during 19^th Century German nationalism, which emphasized military prowess.)

Origin: (German, Armenian)

Pronunciation: (AHR-meen, AA-RMihN)

Gender: Male

I was looking up another name and stumbled upon this one. The going trend so far this month is names that start with the letter A. Armin has rare look and I really like the strong meanings. It is also a good and stronger variant of Herman. It also has really nice history. I could see a strong German character named this.

Aralorn

Meaning:  (Ara: Brings Rain, Lion, Alter, Is the name of a Constellation, Ara was a legendary Armenian King. Also a nickname for Arabella. Lorn: From Lorne, Marquis of Lorne, The first name is ultimately derived the Scottish place name Lorne in Argyll, via the title Marquis of Lorne. The title was borne by the first Governor General of Canada, John Campbell (1845-1914), and thus the name became rather common among Canadians.  Also a variant of Lawrence “from Laurentum”)

Origin: (Armenian, Arabic, Latin, Scottish)

Pronunciation: (Ara: AA-Raja, EY-R-aa Lorn: Lorn, LAORN Aralorn: AIR-ah-lorn)

Gender: Female, Possibly Uni-Sex

I was flipping through a fantasy book a few weeks ago at a used book store and the main characters name was Aralorn. I really think it is beautiful in a very fantasy name way. I think it could be used in others novels because it is just a combo name between Ara and Lorn. The meanings are beautiful.
