Sigmund is of German origin, derived from the elements 'sieg' meaning 'victory' and 'frith' meaning 'peace'. This name was popularized by psychologist Sigmund Freud, who founded psychoanalysis. The name has been traditionally used more in Germanic countries such as Germany, Austria, and Scandinavia, but it can be found worldwide. In some cultures, it may be anglicized to Sigmund or Siegfried.
The name Sigmond experienced fluctuations in popularity during the early to mid-20th century, with peak years being 1917 and 1932, each having 18 and 6 births respectively. However, it's clear that the name never achieved widespread usage, as there were no years with more than 18 births and many years with fewer than 10. The total number of births recorded over this period is 137.
