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 a Manx ancestor. The character Kermit the Frog, introduced in 1955, made the name known internationally through the television program The Muppet Show.

Kermit is an instrumental rock quartet formed in 2011 in Málaga ( Spain) by Gonzalo Presa on guitars, drums, percussion and vocals, Miguel Seguí on guitars, synth and sampler, Francisco Trujillo on the electric bass, and Álvaro Parada on drums, percussion, saxophone and vocals.

Up to date Kermit have released two studio albums titled Autoficción (Spanish for 'Self-fiction'; 2012) and Litoral (Spanish for 'Coast'; 2014) through Spanish music label Itaca Records.
