Amundi is Norse, Scandinavian in Origin.

Amundi is a rare masculine given name with roots in the Nordic -mund tradition. In Scandinavian and Icelandic name stock, it aligns with forms like Amund/Åmund and the saga name Ögmundur (Old Norse Ǫgmundr), built on the Germanic element -mundr “protection, guardian.” Combined with ǫg/egg “edge, point (of a sword),” the sense is often read as “edge-guardian” or “protected by the blade.” The short form Mundi is a familiar nickname in Iceland for several -mundur names, which helps explain the shape Amundi. Medieval Scandinavian records preserve related forms, and the name occasionally resurfaces in modern Nordic use.

In some East African communities, Amundi also appears as a contemporary variant influenced by Luo names such as Omondi/Amondi (“born at dawn”), though this is a parallel development rather than a shared etymology. Variants and relatives include Amund, Åmund, Ögmundur/Ogmundur, and the nickname Mundi.
