Esmon is Norman in Origin.

Esmon is a rare English masculine given name, most often treated as a variant of Esmond/Esmund. Its roots trace to Old English elements ēst “favor, grace” and mund “protection, guardian,” yielding the sense “gracious protection” or “guardian by favor.” In written records it sometimes overlaps with the closely related Osmond (from Old English ōs “god” + mund), and with Old Norse Ásmundr of the same meaning, which helped reinforce the broad idea of “divine protection.”

As a personal name Esmon is sparsely attested in medieval England, more commonly appearing as bynames and later surnames such as Esmond/Eastmond; it re-emerged modestly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries alongside the revival of medieval-style names. Notable bearers of the cognate Esmond include actor Esmond Knight and writer Esmond Romilly. Recorded variants include Esmond, Esmund, Esmonde (Irish), Osmond, and the Scandinavian Asmund/Åsmund.
