Zygmunt is Old High German, Polish in Origin.
Zygmunt is the Polish form of Sigismund. Its source is Old High German Sigimunt, later Latinized as Sigismundus, built from sigi or sigu, victory, and munt, protection or guardianship; the second element is associated with the Germanic word for hand as an instrument of defense. The literal sense is protection by victory or victorious protector.
The name was carried into Slavic usage through medieval German and Latin channels, with Polish spelling adapting the initial sound and final cluster. It has particular weight in Polish history through Zygmunt I Stary, Zygmunt II August, and Zygmunt III Waza, as well as the Romantic writer Zygmunt Krasiński. Related forms include Sigismund, Sigmund, Siegmund, Hungarian Zsigmond, Czech Zikmund, and Slovak Žigmund. In the United States, records point to immigrant-era concentration, peaking in the 1910s and now rare.
