Edmonde is English in Origin.
Edmonde is the French feminine counterpart of Edmond, ultimately from Old English Edmund: ēad “wealth, prosperity” + mund “protector, guardian.” Through medieval Latin Edmundus and Norman channels, the name entered French, where the final -e marks the feminine; in French it is pronounced roughly as [ed-MON], with the nasal -on.
Usage has been modest in France, with sporadic favor in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; today it reads vintage and rare. A notable bearer is the writer and editor Edmonde Charles-Roux. Related forms include Edmond (French masculine), Edmund (English), Edmondo (Italian), Edmundo (Spanish/Portuguese), and feminine variants Edmonda/Edmunda; the closely related French pair Édme/Edmée also trace back to Edmund. Short forms are uncommon, though Ed, Eddie, or the chic Monde sometimes appear. The core meaning - “guardian of prosperity” - gives Edmonde a dignified, protective aura.
