What does Eamon mean?

Answer 1

The name Eamon (prononced a-men) is Irish and means "rich protector."

Or blessed protector. It is the Irish for Edmund, although in many cases people who were christened Edward, take the name also.

The name is also spelt with two n's, as in Eamonn.

People called Eamonn who spell their name with two n's feel slightly superior to Eamon's with one 'n'. However, People who spell their name Eamonn, have to endure the continuing offence of having their name spelled , like 'Eammon'. Man this drives 'em nuts. I know, I am one!
