I remember looking up the name a long time ago and the meaning behind it was "Warrior" and the female version of Armin is Armina (meaning Warrioress). I'm not sure if this is right, but I've been going through life telling people that. Later, Armin (AR-MEEN)
This is a name that can accompany a little boy well as he grows into a man, and ages beyond that - but I'd prefer the second syllable pronounced as "min", with a shorter vowel sound. It's cuter that way.
Two famous bearers: Armin Shimerman, an American actor best known for playing Principal Snyder (on Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and Quark (on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine).
The other famous bearer is Armin Meiwes, a German man who gained international infamy after he killed and ate a voluntary victim he found on the internet. Goes to show you can find anything on the internet these days, huh?
Armin is also an old Persian name (Persian is the language of the country now known as Iran) that consists of two parts: Ar (Ahr) meaning Fire and min (meen) meaning within.
