ゲルマン語起源の人名で、ragin（助言・知恵）+ mund（保護者）から成る。「知恵ある守護者」が原義。フランク王国時代に広まり、古フランス語Raimundを経て英語に定着した。関連名にEdmund（財の守護者）がある。
Raymond comes from a Germanic personal name formed from elements meaning “counsel” or “advice” and “protection” or “protector.” The name spread through Frankish and Old French forms such as Raimund before becoming established in English. Its traditional combined sense is approximately “protector through counsel” or “wise protector.” Edmund has a similar second element but begins with an element associated with wealth or prosperity.
