Aemond
Meaning of Aemond
Aemond (AY-mund) strides onto the naming stage with a cloak of legend and a spark of modern drama. Linguistically, it nods to venerable Old English and Gaelic cousins like Edmund and Éamonn, whispering the stout meaning “wealthy protector,” yet pop culture has freshly forged it in dragon fire as Prince Aemond Targaryen of George R. R. Martin’s universe. That double heritage gives the name a neat one-two punch: tradition for grandparents to admire, adventure for story-loving parents to cheer. In the United States it’s still a rare gem—only a dozen little Aemonds arrived in 2024, placing it at a quietly proud #912—but every newborn who bears it gets a built-in tale of courage, strategy, and a dash of mischief. Picture a boy standing his ground on the soccer pitch, eyes bright with curiosity, ready to guard his friends like treasure. For families seeking something both time-honored and thrillingly off-beat, Aemond might just be the dragon-saddled hero they’ve been waiting to meet.
