Meaning & origin
Edmon is a rare spelling variant of Edmund, a name with deep roots in English history. Its popularity peaked in the 1890s, with the highest recorded usage in 1892. However, the name has since fallen out of common use, and its latest recorded year in the dataset is 2025, though it remains a stable but uncommon choice. Edmon was first recorded in 1887, and it has never been associated with any particular U.S. state as a top regional name. For parents seeking a traditional yet distinctive name, Edmon offers a connection to Old English heritage without the modern revival of its fuller form.
Edmon is a variant of Edmund, derived from the Old English elements ēad 'prosperity, wealth' and mund 'protection'. The name was borne by several Anglo-Saxon kings and saints, and remained common in England through the Middle Ages. Edmon as a spelling variant appears in records from the late 19th century, particularly in the United States, where it may reflect phonetic simplification or regional spelling preferences.
