Origin of the name Edmund:
Derived from the Old English Eadmund (wealthy protection), a compound name composed of the elements ēad (prosperity, wealth) and mund (hand, protection). The name was borne by a 9th-century East Anglian king killed by invading Danes for refusing to share his Christian kingdom with them. He was revered as a martyr, and his cult quickly spread to the Continent.
