Origin and meaning

counsel protection (Germanic via English)

Raymund derives from the Germanic elements 'ragin' (counsel) and 'mund' (protector). In the Philippines, it represents an Anglicized variant of the traditional Hispanic name Ramón or Raimundo, popularized through English education and American influence in the 20th century.

Raymund is a variant spelling of Raymond, a name of Germanic origin (from 'ragin' meaning counsel and 'mund' meaning protection). In the Philippines, the name became prominent during the American period alongside traditional Catholic reverence for St. Raymond (San Ramon).
