musketeer name; men's fragrance
Etymology
'Aramis' originates from French, known as the name of a fictional musketeer created by Alexandre Dumas in the 19th century; its ultimate linguistic origin is uncertain.
'Aramis' was first popularized as the name of a character in Dumas' 'The Three Musketeers' (1844) and later adopted in English as a personal name and as the trademark for the men's fragrance 'Aramis'.
Initially, it referred specifically to 'a fictional musketeer'; over time the use broadened to include 'a men's fragrance' and occasionally a given name or surname.
