Hermann was the marching Mercury of the old Germans. "Irman, Armin, Eorman, Hermann," says Professor Donaldson, "is the oldest deity of our race. He combines the functions of the two later deities, Tiv, or Ziv, or Ziu, corresponding to Mars, and Wodan, corresponding to Mercury; and therefore claims as his own both the third and the fourth days of the week. He is the Er or Eor of the Scythic tribes, and the Ares of the Greeks. He appears equally in the heroic Arminius of the Low Germans, and in the heroic Herminius of Roman fable." Cambridge Essays, 1856, p. 68. As an English surname, Herman or Harman is of great antiquity. Hermann, Hermannus, as a personal name, is found in Domesday.
