Meaning & Origin

A male given name from Old English, a French style variant of Edmund.

Edmond is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old English origin, a French-influenced spelling of Edmund, from ead ('wealth, fortune') and mund ('protector'), meaning 'wealthy protector.' Saint Edmund was a 9th-century King of East Anglia martyred by Vikings, and two English kings bore the name.

Edmond has a slightly more elegant, Continental feel than Edmund — refined yet strong, like its most famous literary bearer, Edmond Dantès of The Count of Monte Cristo.
