ÁSmundur

  • [ - ]
  • Icelandic
Icelandic form of ÅSMUND.

?SMUND   male   Norwegian, Danish
From the Old Norse name Ásmundr, cognate of OSMOND.
OSMOND   male   English (Rare)
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.
