Meaning & origin
Lamoine is a rare American name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1914. It reached its peak usage in 1917, but has never entered the ranks of common names. The name is so uncommon that its 1-in-N ratio is not calculable, and it has never been consistently recorded in any top states according to Social Security data. Its trajectory is stable, meaning it has seen very low but persistent use over the decades, without significant revival. Parents who choose Lamoine today are likely drawn to its vintage sound and relative obscurity, offering a distinctive alternative to more familiar French-derived names.
Lamoine appears to be a modern American coinage, possibly derived from the French surname Lamoine or a respelling of the name Lamour. It has seen sporadic use in the United States since the early 20th century, peaking in popularity around 1917. Its exact meaning is unclear, but it may have been created as a distinctive alternative to more common names.
