Meaning & origin
Demond is a name that first appears in U.S. birth records in 1963, during a period when creative respellings and novel formations were gaining popularity. Its peak year was 1974, reflecting the era's affinity for names with the -mond suffix. Since 1999, its usage has been declining; in 2025 it ranked 4,249, with roughly 1 in 71,170 male newborns receiving the name. The name is most commonly found in Texas, suggesting a regional concentration in the South. While its etymology is uncertain, Demond fits within a broader pattern of mid-20th century American naming inventions, often inspired by surnames or fashionable endings. Its sound-alike connection to the well-established Desmond gives it a familiar yet distinctive quality.
Demond first appeared in U.S. records in the 1960s, likely as a respelling or blend of existing names. It may derive from Desmond, an Irish surname meaning 'from Desmond' (South Munster), or simply be a fashionable formation using the popular -mond ending found in Raymond and Edmond. The name saw its peak usage in the 1970s.
