Meaning & origin
Lemond is a rare given name that originated as a French surname meaning 'the world'. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1931, but its peak year was 1972, when it achieved its highest rank of 2,847. Since then, its usage has been stable at very low levels, with fewer than 5 births in recent years. The name has no strong association with any particular U.S. state or cultural group. Its similarity to the more common name 'Lemon' may contribute to its rarity, but for those seeking an unusual name with a worldly meaning, Lemond offers a distinctive choice.
Lemond is a transferred use of a French surname, itself a variant of Lemont or Lemonde. The surname likely originated as a nickname for a world traveler or someone with a worldly demeanor, from Old French 'le monde' meaning 'the world'. As a given name, Lemond is rare and primarily appears in the United States, where it emerged in the early 20th century. Its usage peaked in the 1970s but has since become uncommon.
