Eamon is an Irish given name, derived from the ancient Gaelic name Éamanndán, which means 'rich protector'. It has been used for centuries in Ireland and has gained international recognition due to its unique spelling and pronunciation. The name is often associated with Saint Eamonn, a sixth-century monk who founded monasteries in Ireland. Traditionally, it is considered a boy's name but has also been used as a girl's name in recent years.
