History & Origin

Edmon lightens Edmond/Edmund, all from Old English ead, 'wealth', and mund, 'protection' — 'rich protector'. The name has royal and saintly English roots; the -on spelling is a plainer American rendering that families kept in small numbers.

It saw quiet use, peaking faintly around 1924 and lingering into recent decades in this spelling. It was never common — only a few dozen boys a year at most.

Did you know? Two English kings and a martyred saint (Edmund the Martyr, a patron once regarded as England's national saint) carried the fuller form, giving this humble spelling a deep royal backdrop.
