Arminou is a village in the Paphos district of Cyprus, located 3 kilometres north west of Filousa and 5 kilometres north of Salamiou in the northern area of the Diarizos Valley.

The Holy Monastery of Timios Stavros
dates back to the middle of the 18th century.

There are three stories told regarding the naming of Arminou village. The first version links the naming of the village to the name of the first resident, who was called Arminos and hence the village was named Arminou.

The second version which is the most likely one, originates the name from the name Hermione which was the name of an ancient Greek city in South Greece.

There is a third version which says that the village was founded by Armenians, but no Armenian names or any other sign of Armenian civilization was found in the area so it is very unlikely.
