This surname, recorded under the spellings of Armitage, Armytage and Hermitage, derives from the Middle English and Old French word for hermit, and from the Greek word for solitary, and was originally given either as a topographical name to someone who lived by a hermitage, sanctuary, or place of learning, or as a locational name from any of the places named with the above word. These places include Hermitage in Durham, Northumberland, Dorset, Berkshire and Sussex, and Armitage in Staffordshire, England.
