Reimond as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Reimond

What is the meaning of the name Reimond ?

The baby name Reimond is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈreɪ.mənd/ (RAY-mund).

Reimond is Germanic in Origin.

Reimond is a rare Low Countries/Germanic spelling of Raymond, from Old High German Raginmund (ragin “counsel, deliberation” + mund “protection, guardian”). The meaning is commonly rendered “wise protector” or “protector through counsel.” The diphthong ei reflects Dutch and some German orthography, so Reimond tends to appear in Flemish and German records, though it is intelligible wherever Raymond is known.

The name spread widely via the Normans and medieval Occitan culture: think counts and troubadours named Raimon/Ramon, and saints such as Raymond of Peñafort and Ramón Nonato. Usage in English peaked under the Raymond form in the early 20th century; Reimond remains uncommon, giving a distinctive twist to a classic. Close variants include Raymond (Eng.), Raimond/Reimond, Raimund/Reimund (Ger.), Ramon/Ramón (Catalan/Span.), Raimundo (Span./Port.), and Raimondo (It.); feminine forms include Raymonde and Raimunda. Nicknames: Ray, Mond.
