Meaning & origin

Lamond is an extremely rare given name in the United States, with first recorded usage in 1928. Its peak year was 1972, but even then it never ranked among the top 1,000 names, reflecting its status as a highly uncommon choice. The name's trajectory has been stable, meaning it has neither surged nor fallen dramatically in usage over the decades. Likely a variant or respelling of the Scottish surname Lamont, Lamond carries a sense of heritage and individuality for parents seeking a distinctive name with Scottish roots.

Lamond is likely a variant or respelling of the Scottish surname and given name Lamont, which derives from the Old Norse name Logmaðr, meaning 'lawgiver' or 'lawman'. The name was borne by a prominent Scottish clan in Argyllshire. As a given name, Lamond emerged in the United States in the early 20th century, possibly as a surname transfer or an altered form of Lamont.
