The story of Edmundo
Edmund was a king of East Anglia killed by Danish invaders in 869 and venerated as a martyr; his shrine at Bury St Edmunds was one of the great English pilgrimage sites, and for centuries he, not George, was the patron saint of England. The Normans carried the name into their own usage and it traveled south with them, giving Spanish and Portuguese Edmundo and Italian Edmondo. Spanish use is steady rather than fashionable, and Edmundo entered United States records with Spanish-speaking families, reaching its best year in 1958. The Old English elements survive unchanged through a thousand years and three languages.
Meaning
protector of prosperity
From Old English ead, wealth, prosperity or fortune, and mund, a hand and thence protection or guardianship. The same ead appears in Edward, Edwin and Edith; the same mund in Raymond, Sigmund and Osmond. Neither element is in dispute, and the compound is a normal Germanic construction meaning something like guardian of riches.

Line the two peaks up, and Manny's path sketches the road Edmundo is walking now.
