Meaning:Messenger
This magical girl’s name needs no introduction. Hermoine may be Greek in origin, but it’s the Harry Potter franchise that has inspired a new generation of parents to choose it for their little girl. The name has been around since the 1800s but had falling success on the charts for decades. It wasn’t a wingardium leviosa spell that saw it quickly rise to fame again though, it was the release of the first movie in 2001. The strong feminine figure is a fitting influence for any baby raised to defy the odds and lead a life full of wonder, whether they have a magic wand to help them or not. Quick-witted Hermione knows what she wants and uses her enchanting charm and fierce skills to get it. Loyal to her friends and filled with endless bravery, the enchantress is a fitting inspiration for baby Hermione.
