Anglo-Saxon Boy Names

<p>Eadmund is an Old English masculine name composed of the elements 'ead' meaning 'wealth, fortune, prosperity' and 'mund' meaning 'protection, guardian.' It's the ancient form of the more common Edmund. The name was borne by several Anglo-Saxon kings, including Edmund I who ruled England in the 10th century. While relatively rare today, Eadmund represents a connection to early English heritage and carries a meaning of 'protector of prosperity.' The name fell out of common usage after the Norman Conquest when French-influenced names became more fashionable, but has occasional usage among families interested in historical Anglo-Saxon names.</p>
