Summary
Kermit is a male given name found mainly in the United States. It is a variant spelling of Kermode, a surname in the Isle of Man, which itself is a Manx language variant of Mac Diarmata, an Irish language patronymic anglicised MacDermot. The name Kermit came to prominence through Kermit Roosevelt (1889–1943), son of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, named for Robert Kermit, a maternal great-uncle. The character Kermit the Frog, introduced in 1955, made the name known internationally through the television programs Sesame Street and The Muppet Show.
