e-ma-ha / Ermāhās > Hermês
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Mycenaean Greek “e-ma-ha / Ermāhās > Hermês (Ἑρμῆς),” meaning “messenger of the gods.” Hermes is an Olympian god in Greek religion and mythology, son of Zeus and the Pleiad Maia. He is the second youngest of the Olympian gods. In the Roman adaptation of the Greek pantheon, Hermes is identified with the Roman god Mercury, who inherited from the Etruscans, developed many similar characteristics, such as being the patron of commerce. Hermes may be related to Greek hermeneus (ἑρμηνεύς), meaning “interpreter,” reflecting Hermes’s function as a divine messenger.
