He was born at Frosinone, Campagna di Roma, Italy. Saint Hormisdas was a widower and a Roman deacon at the time of his accession to the papal throne. His son became pope under the name of Silverius.



One of the new pope's first cares was to remove the last vestiges of the Laurentian schism in Rome, receiving back into the Church those adherents who had not already been reconciled. Most of his papacy was concerned with healing the schism that had existed since 484 between East and West brought about by the Acacian schism. The schism was the result of Acacius of Constantinople's attempt to placate the Monophysites. The church of Constantinople was reunited with Rome in 519 by means of the confession of faith that is called The Formula of Hormisdas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Hormis鈥?/a>



St. Hormisdas Pope

Feastday: August 6

Pope from 514-523, successor to St. Symmachus, and father of Pope St. Silverius Born in Frosinone, Campagna di Roma, Italy, he was an Italian, although he had a Persian name. Married and widowed prior to ordination, he succeeded St. Symmachus on July 21, 514. One of his great achievements was the ending of the Acacian Schism which had divided the Eastern and Western Churches since 484. The Church in Constantinople was reunited to Rome in 519 as a result of the confession called the Formula of Hormisdas. This document was signed by Patriarch John of Constantinople and 250 Eastern bishops. Hormisdas also received Laurentian schismatics into the Church and secured the acceptance of the Tome of Leo I and the decrees of the Council of Chalcedon and the recognition of the authority of the Holy See over the universal Church. http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php鈥?/a>



Since you gave the name Hormizda and the variants Hormisdas and Hormisda, I assume that you know most name have variant spellings; most surnames were also personal names before they were surnames. It would appear that the surname Hormisdas/Hormizda/Hormisda came from the Italian S. Hormidas Pope but the name itself is Persian. There are many historical accounts of Pope Saint Hormisdas but few modern records of the surname itself. The ones that I could locate were under the Hormisdas spelling and can be found at the following websites:
