ArchivesRe: the meaning of the name aramis
in reply to a message by aramis r. potter
Alexander Dumas based Aramis on the historical figure Henri d'Aramitz. The location for which he was named is Aramits which basically means "the vales".
As Athos means "holy mountain" and Porthos means "ocean", I think Dumas was going for a trinity with Aramis as a vale would tend to experience high winds. Allusion to skies, essentially. Also, Aramis can be seen as a mistranslation of Eremis (Hermes).
