Meaning & origin
Elmond is a rare American name that saw its peak usage in 1917, with its first recorded appearance in 1913. It belongs to the 1910s decade and has maintained a stable trajectory, never entering the top 1,000 or achieving a 1-in-N rate in recent decades. The name is a blend of the popular elements El- and -mond, reflecting a trend of inventive combinations during that era. Though it never spread widely, Elmond remains a distinctive choice with a vintage feel.
Elmond is a modern coinage that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, blending the prefix El- (common in names like Elmer and Elbert) with the suffix -mond (found in Edmund and Raymond). It likely arose as a variant of Elmon or Elman, or as a respelling of Almond. The name never achieved widespread popularity but saw modest use in the United States during the 1910s.
