Eamon is the Irish form of Edmund and means “wealthy protector” or “rich protector.” Eamon is also read as “prosperous guardian.” Eamon recalls Eamon de Valera, the revolutionary who became an early president of modern Ireland, and is a good alternative to Aidan. Edmund arrived with the Anglo-Normans, and TV presenter Eamonn Andrews made the name familiar in Britain.
