It is sometimes found as Admond where the vowel has been shortened. The personal name was still well used in England in the late 14th century especially in East Anglia and was often bestowed in honor of the East Anglian King Saint Edmund the Martyr (died 869) who was killed by pagan Danish invaders. English: occasionally a variant of Edman . French Canadian: altered form of English Edmunds .
