Raymond

Raymond

Raymond is a name of Germanic origin, from the name "Reginmund", composed of the elements "ragin" ("counsellor") and "mund" ("protector"). This was the name of several saints, including Saint Raymond Nonnatus, the patron of midwives and expectant mothers, and Saint Raymond of Peñafort, the patron of canonists. It is a cognate of Ralph.

It is also the basis of names such as Ramón, Raimund, Raimundo, Raimondo, Reimund etc.
