Name Meaning
Some characteristic forenames: French/Haitian Monique, Amie, Andre, Cecile, Desire, Dumas, Jacques, Lucienne, Luckner, Napoleon, Patrice.
Scottish, English, French, and West Indian (mainly Haiti): from the Middle English and Older Scots personal name Edmond (Old English Ēadmund, composed of the elements ēad ‘prosperity, fortune’ + mund ‘protection’). 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 either of Edman or Eman, the latter from an alternative form of the Middle English female personal name Emeny, arising from Ismaine. The origin of Ismaine is uncertain, though possibly ancient Germanic from an unrecorded Ismagin, perhaps from īs ‘ice’ or īsen- ‘iron’ + -magin ‘strength’, though -magin is not known as a second element. Occasionally Eman may also be a variant of Emond .
