Origin and meaning of Raimondo
Raimondo is Germanic in origin, from the compound Raginmund — ragin, 'counsel, wisdom,' plus mund, 'protection' — hence 'wise protector' or 'one who guards through counsel.' Brought to Italy by the Lombards and Normans, it is ancient and noble, with many European cognates such as Raymond and Raimundo. In Italy it is traditional but not very common, more frequent in the south, while abroad it thrives in its local forms. It keeps an aristocratic, chivalric tone of solid elegance.
