History & Origin
Zygmund is a plainer American spelling of the Polish Zygmunt, the national form of the old Germanic name Sigmund. It reached the United States with Polish immigrants in the early nineteen-hundreds.
Zygmund was never common in America, given to only about twenty boys a year at its peak in the early nineteen-twenties, chiefly in Polish immigrant communities, before the plainer Sigmund and English names took over. A boy named Zygmund then would be over a hundred years old today.
