English (Somerset and Devon): from the Middle English personal name Osmund, representing either Old English Ōsmund or Anglo-Scandinavian Ōsmund from Old Norse Ásmundr, Asmund, from elements meaning ‘god’ + ‘protection' (English); ‘hand; bride-price’ (Scandinavian). The name was popular among Normans in Normandy (see 2 below), and this contributed substantially to its currency in post-Conquest England. By the middle of the 13th century it was an inherited surname of the Norman family that owned Melbury Osmond in Dorset. For a probable pet form of Osmund, see Hoskin .
French (mainly Normandy): from the Old Norse personal name Asmund (see 1 above).
