MEANING & HISTORY
What does Raymond Nonnatus mean?
The Mercedarian order documents the complete saint-name Raymond Nonnatus and explains Nonnatus as not born in the traditional account of his delivery after his mother’s death. Raymond itself has the Germanic counsel-and-protection history.
These are a personal name and a historical epithet, not two parts of one original Germanic word. The source establishes the saint-name tradition without proving that the Philippine bearer was named after the saint.
