Herman's Hermits was a British rock band in the 1960s. The name Herman came after the band remarked on the singer's resemblance to the character Sherman in Peabody's Improbable History, a supporting cartoon in The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, and one member misheard the name as Herman. The group took the name Herman and The Hermits, and it soon became abbreviated to Herman's Hermits.

This name is simply a phrase: her man.

It's an ugly, old-fashioned, pompous name, and I'd laugh very hard if I heard a parent shout to their son: ''Herman, we have to leave!'' I'd feel sorry for any kid with this embarrassing name today.
My great uncle's name is Herman, and I wish I could say he's who I think of everytime I hear this name, but he's not. I can't help but think, Pee-Wee Herman.

The feminine version is Hermanna, it is my middle name and I pronounce it Her-MAHN-ah.
