Armanas

ÁRMANAS

Etymology

Baltišku sudurtini pers.n. ¹ we should be very careful. This is one of the cases where the combined surn. Baltic or Germanic can be considered almost equal. However, due to geography, due to the possible connection with Érmanas, Ármonas, Gar̃manas (see), it seems that there is more basis to consider it as a Germanism, cf. German Armann ², Hermann ³. See also Érman, Gar̃man.
