I have been searching for the meaning of my name "ARAMIS", for quite sometime. I have searched many baby name websites, including this one, and none seem to have the definition or origin of the name "ARAMIS". My father gave me the name from a character of Alexander Dumas, of the work "The Three Musketeers". The peculiar thing I find at these websites is that for the meaning column they put the four **** symbols instead of leaving it blank as they do for other names that they have no information as to the definition or origin. I have been told by some that the name is french and at others that it is greek. But most seem to agree that it is most common in french and latin speaking countries, though I have asked many french speaking people and they don't seem to know either, though they have heard the name. I would appreciate any thoughts on this, or any direction as to where to look.
