ArchivesRe: Desmond - alternative origins?
in reply to a message by Bobby Darin
Well, Ancestry.com lists "from south Munster" as Desmond's meaning too (see: http://snipurl.com/eaog). And they take their info from The Dictionary of American Family Names, which is published by the Oxford University Press... so, I think BtN's meaning is correct.
I concur with Chrisell in that you could be confusing Desmond with Donald.
EDIT: - one word which didn't make grammatical sense
