Name Meaning

English: topographic name from Middle English, Old French (h)ermitage ‘hermitage’ (a derivative of Old French (h)ermite ‘hermit’), or a habitational name from a place called with this word. The name is very common in Yorkshire, where it has been traced to a hermitage in South Crosland, close to Armitage Bridge in Almondbury, near Huddersfield.

History: The name was first brought to North America by Enoch Armitage (born 1677) of Wooldale, Yorkshire, England.
