- Raymond Meaning
- From the Germanic name Raginmund, composed of the elements ragin "advice" and mund "protector". The Normans introduced this name to England in the form Reimund. It was borne by several medieval (mostly Spanish) saints, including Saint Raymond Nonnatus, the patron of midwives and expectant mothers, and Saint Raymond of Peñafort, the patron of canonists. The name Raymond is itself an English and French name, derived from the Old Germanic words "ragin", which means "counsel or advise", and "munt", which means "protection or protector".
