Guimond de Moulins

Guimond[1] de Moulins (in Italian: Guidomondo De Molisio, Guidmondo De Molisio, or Guimondo De Molisio) was a lord from Normandy in the 11th century, and the progenitor of the great Italo-Norman nobility family De Molisio, which is said to have given its name to the region of Molise in Southern Italy.

  1. ^ Formerly Widmund or Guitmund; in medieval Latin: Widmundus, Guidmundus, or even Guimundus. This anthroponym of Germanic origin is frequently found in ducal Normandy. It has survived as a surname in northern Normandy in the forms Vimont (mainly in the Pays de Caux) and Vimond (in the Cotentin), and in southern Normandy (notably in the Orne) under the form Guimond (the variant Guimont is not Norman).
