Edmona, of Latin origin, is an uncommon yet elegant feminine given name. It is derived from the Latin word 'Aemilius,' which means 'to strive or excel.' The name was popular among early Christians and has been associated with St. Edmund, a martyr and king in medieval England. Edmona is typically pronounced /ˈɛdməʊnə/ and can be spelled in several variations such as Edmonda, Edmonda, or even Edmundina. It shares its roots with other names like Amadeus and Amelie, which also convey positive attributes through their etymology. While it may not be widely used today, Edmona offers a unique and distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
Edmona was quite uncommon in 1929, with only five girls named that year.
