Etymology
From en ang here army + ang man man Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges : A Concise Dictionary of First Names. Oxford University Press 2001. It was revived in the 19th century, partly due to American immigrants from continental Europe where the name has been more popular. Compare the German equivalent de Hermann.
