Rosemond Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A female name. Old German Rosamunda, compound of hros or ros ‘horse’ and munda ‘protection’. In the Middle Ages, however, it was regarded as a Latin name rosa + munda = pure or clean rose'. It was introduced into England by the Normans, a famous example being Rosamund Clifford (d. 1176), the unfortunate mistress of Henry II. The surnames Roseaman, Rosomon, Rosemond, Rosamund are derived from it. Rosamund, unlike many names of Germanic origin, survived the Renaissance and was fairly common in the 17th C, usually spelt Rosamond (the French form, cf Edmond for Edmund), held its own in the 18th and 19th C, and is now somewhat more common than it has been for several centuries.
