Edmonia is a feminine name of uncertain etymology, though it may be a feminine form of Edmund, a Germanic name combining elements meaning 'wealth' or 'fortune' and 'protection.' The name gained some prominence in the 19th century, notably through American sculptor Edmonia Lewis (1844-1907), who achieved international recognition for her work. Despite this historical figure, Edmonia has remained relatively uncommon in usage throughout recorded naming statistics. The name saw modest usage in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries but declined in popularity thereafter. While uncommon today, Edmonia carries a certain vintage charm and distinguished sound that appeals to parents seeking a rare name with historical connections. Its pronunciation typically places emphasis on the second syllable: ed-MOH-nee-ah.
