What does Eamon mean?
Eamon means “Wealth and protection”.
Eamon is an Irish form of Edmund, a name built from old English elements meaning wealth or prosperity and protection. The combined sense is often expressed as a prosperous protector or a protector of wealth. In Irish, Éamon and Éamonn are familiar spellings; Eamon is the form without the accent, often used in English-language settings.
