- Rosamund Meaning
- Derived from the Germanic elements hros "horse" and mund "protection". The Normans introduced this name to England. It was subsequently influenced by the Latin phrase rosa munda "pure rose". This was the name of the mistress of Henry Ii, the king of England in the 12th century. She was possibly murdered by his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Rosamund originates in Germanic languages and means "protector of horses". Some sources also suggest later Latin influence and the meaning "purest of roses". Rosamund functions as a surname as well. Rosamund was the name of the mistress of Henry II, as well as an opera by T. A. Arne.
