Rosamund

US Popularity:10854
Origin:German
Other Origin(s):Latin
Meaning:Horse protector; Pure rose; Rose of the world
Rosamund is a feminine name of German and Latin origin. Hinting at rosebuds and natural beauty, Rosamund's roots actually reveal a far more formidable character. Far from sweet blooms, the name derives from the German elements hros, meaning "horse," and mund, meaning "protection." Whereas in folk etymology, Rosamund is often translated to "pure rose" and “rose of the world”—influenced by the Latin rosa munda and rosa mundi. A rose by any name may smell as sweet, but in little Rosamund's case, one title can possess a whole myriad of possibilities.
