osmund-, osmunda New Latin a kind of fern<br />

Osmunda (os-MUN-da) Possibly from New Latin, from post-classical Latin, from Old French osmonde (or<br />

Anglo-Norman Osmond). An old English name in Lyte (1578), from Anglo-Saxon (cannot verify this as<br />

Celtic) god of thunder, Osmunder, the equivalent of or the surname of Thor, the Norse god of war; or from the<br />

Saxon god Osmunder the Waterman, who hid his family from danger in a clump of these ferns, in a reference<br />

to the boggy habitat. Possibly from the Scandinavian writer Asmund (c. 1025) who helped prepare the way for<br />

Swedish acceptance of Christianity. More likely from any of many old Germanic language group versions of<br />

osmunder, (see OED), a possible place name where bog iron was produced, or a term for bog iron itself; it is<br />

possible Osmunda grew where bog iron ore was mined. Folk etymology is from Latin os mundi, bone of the<br />
