Edmund
m.
Old English ēad, Old High German ōt, Old Saxon ōd 'wealth, riches' + Old English mund 'protector', Old Saxon mund, Old High German munt 'hand, protection'.
The name of a 9th C English saint, two kings of England, a 13th C English saint, and two 16th C English saints.
The 9th C English saint was regarded in the Middle Ages as the patron saint of England, which helps account for the name's enduring popularity even after the Norman Conquest.
