Remund

Remund is a surname and, less commonly, a given name of Germanic origin. It is typically considered a regional or variant form of Raimund (also spelled Reimund or Raimund), a traditional name in medieval Germanic naming.

The given name Raimund stems from Old High German elements meaning counsel or advice (ragin) and protector (mund). As a surname, Remund most likely originated as a patronymic or diminutive form derived from the given name, later becoming established as a hereditary family name. The form Remund is attested in various German-speaking regions and among diaspora communities.

Historically, Remund has been found in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In the modern era, it appears in North America and other regions due to emigration. It is more commonly encountered as a surname than as a given name.

Related spellings and variants include Reimund and Raimund, with regional orthographic changes sometimes producing forms such as Remundt or Raimont in archival records. The name has several cognate forms across Central Europe and among families with Germanic roots, reflecting historical naming practices and migrations.
