Osmonde Origin and Meaning

The name Osmonde is a boy's name.

Osmonde is a rare masculine name of Germanic origin, derived from elements meaning 'divine protection' or 'god's protection.' It is a variant of Osmond, which was introduced to England by the Normans after the conquest of 1066. The name was borne by Saint Osmund, a Norman noble who became Bishop of Salisbury in the 11th century. Despite its noble and historical connections, Osmonde has never gained widespread popularity. Today, it remains an uncommon choice that evokes a sense of medieval chivalry and aristocratic heritage. Those named Osmonde might appreciate its distinctive sound and rich historical associations.
