Can a hermit be a name for someone who never has children?
No; that isn't a very good use of the word. While it is true that some hermits do not have children, people who do not have children are not necessarily hermits.

The term is also broadly used for some people who are not really hermits but who tend to be loners rather than sociable.

Why do monks get called monks?
The words "monk" and "monastery" have the same origin: the Greek word monachos, meaning "alone".The first monks were actually solitary Christian hermits living in caves in the Sinai and other remote regions of the Middle East - they were called monachoi - recluses.Gradually small communities of these hermits grew up, both for mutual protection and to share their spiritual life. These colonies, or laura, were effectively the first monasteries. They often had a church for the celebration of Mass.Over time these hermitage complexes evolved into European monasteries, where monks could live together "alone" from the outside world. It was this idea of being separate and cut off from worldly matters that characterised monks and nuns.
