The full meaning of the name is "protector of wealth" or "guardian of riches," reflecting values of responsibility, guardianship, and financial stability.

The name was especially popular among educated and affluent Jewish families who saw it as a symbol of high social status and education. Many bearers of the name Edmund were businessmen, intellectuals, and cultural figures who made significant contributions to the societies in which they lived. The name combines Western values of protection and wealth with Jewish values of communal responsibility and contribution to society.
