Thinking about the name
Armas
Finnish/Spanish origin
“A Finnish or Spanish form possibly related to 'armas' (weapons in Spanish), Armas is compact, striking, and evocative of strength and protection. The name works across multiple European languages while remaining uncommon enough to feel distinctive, appealing to parents seeking something both substantial and unusual.”
