Diarmaid Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. Irish Diarmaidh ‘freeman’ (lit ‘without orders’). The name of the lover of Grainne. The anglicized spelling Dermot has lately been replaced by Diarmid, Diarmaid. See also Darby.
A Celtic name (lit. ‘a freeman’) frequently heard in both Ireland and Scotland. (See also the next.) It figures prominently in legend—but not in Macpherson’s Ossian—and in history. Diarmaid, King of Leinster, ‘acted the part of Paris, and ruined his country by the abduction of Devorgil of Meath’ (Yonge).
Or DIARMUID. An old Irish name. O’Brien derives it from dia a god, armaid, gen. pl. of am, arms, the name thus signifying a god of arms, an epithet, as applied to a warrior, equivalent to that of one of Homer’s heroes, Dios Krateros Diomedes, or the godlike-fighting Diomede. Conf. Annals of Ireland.
