A 5th century Prince of Burgundy was known both as Sigismund and Sigimund (see Ernst F�rstemann, Altdeutsche Personennamen, 1906; Henning Kaufmann, Altdeutsche Personennamen, Erg�nzungsband,1968). Its Hungarian equivalent is Zsigmond.

A Lithuanian name �ygimantas, meaning "wealth of (military) campaign", from Lithuanian �ygis "campaign, march" + manta "goods, wealth"[citation needed] has been a substitution of the name Sigismund in the Lithuanian language, from which it was adopted by the Ruthenian language as Жыгімонт (such are the cases of Sigismund Kestutaitis, Sigismund Korybut, Sigismund I the Old, Sigismund II Augustus). The Polish spelling is Zygmunt, and the Croatian variant is �igmund.
