Edmond is of Germanic origin, derived from the Old Germanic words 'ead' meaning 'rich', 'prosperous', and 'mund' meaning 'protection'. The name was popularized through use by early medieval French kings, notably Saint Edmond the Martyr, king of England in the 9th century. It has been used widely throughout Europe since that time.
