Kermit

A boys name of Irish origin meaning “free of charge”

The name Kermit is of Irish origin and is believed to be a variant of the name Cormac, which means “charioteer” or “son of defilement” in Irish Gaelic. The name Kermit gained popularity in the United States in the 20th century, largely due to the famous puppet character Kermit the Frog created by Jim Henson for “The Muppets” franchise.

While the name Kermit may be most commonly associated with the beloved green frog character, it has a rich history that predates the iconic Muppet. Kermit has a unique and whimsical charm, making it a distinctive choice for parents looking for a name that stands out. The name has not ranked high in popularity in recent years, but it continues to be a recognizable and memorable choice for those seeking a name with a touch of nostalgia and playfulness.
