Osmond
[ˈɒz.mənd]Meaning
from the Old English elements os "god" and mund "protection"
Background Story
Osmond comes from the Old English elements os, meaning "god", and mund, meaning "protection". During the Anglo-Saxon period the Norse cognate Asmundr was also used in England, and another version of the name was brought over by the Normans. It is used in Anglo-Saxon, Icelandic, Norwegian and Old Norse, and after becoming rare it was revived in the 19th century, partly from a surname derived from the given name.
