Meaning & origin
Elmon is a rare masculine given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1909. Its origin is uncertain, possibly derived from the Old English name Elmer or created as a modern amalgamation. The name reached its peak popularity in 1909, the same year it was first recorded, and has since maintained a very low and stable level of use. No state shows significant concentration of the name, and it does not appear in any known top 1,000 rankings. Elmon remains an obscure choice, with little historical or cultural footprint beyond its sparse registration data.
The name Elmon has no clear derivation in standard reference works. It may be a variant of the Old English name Elmer, composed of elements meaning 'noble' and 'famous', or it could be a modern invented name from the early 20th century. Records show sporadic use in the United States beginning in the 1900s, but it has never achieved widespread popularity.
