Meaning & origin
Zygmunt is a traditional Polish name that has seen consistent but infrequent use in the United States since 1912. Its peak year was 1917, when it was given to a modest number of boys, reflecting early 20th-century immigration patterns. The name has remained stable in usage, never widespread but persistently chosen by families with Polish heritage. Its trajectory shows a steady, low-level presence, with occasional small upticks that do not indicate a revival.
Zygmunt is the Polish form of the Germanic name Siegmund, derived from the elements sig 'victory' and mund 'protection'. It has been borne by several Polish kings and is a traditional name in Polish noble families.
