Osmond

Osmond is a boy name.

Pronunciation: American English /ˈɑz.mənd/; British English /ˈɒz.mənd/.

This name comes from the Old English elements os "god" and mund "protection". During the Anglo-Saxon period a Norse cognate Ásmundr was also used in England, and another version was imported by the Normans. Saint Osmund was an 11th-century Norman nobleman who became an English bishop. Though it eventually became rare, it was revived in the 19th century, in part from a surname that was derived from the given name.
