Meanings

a male given name

Etymology

From the compound stem *auda- of *audaz + *-munduz, a masculine u-stem personal name element beside *mundō (de Vries 1977: 395, s.v. mundr; Nedoma 2004: 231–33). The u-stem formation is directly supported by Proto-Norse ᚲᚢᚾᛁᛗᚢᚾᛞᛁᚢ (kunimundiu) on the Tjurkö bracteate (de Vries 1977: 334, s.v. kunimundiu). Compare Old Norse Auðmundr and Old English Ēadmund. The compound may originally have conveyed approximately ‘protector of wealth’, although dithematic Germanic personal names need not retain a transparent compositional meaning (Nedoma 2018: 1586).
