Tilmon

Meaning & origin

Tilmon is a rare given name of uncertain meaning, likely derived from the English surname Tilman. It first appeared on U.S. Social Security records in 1880, the earliest year for which data is available, but has never been among the top rankings. Its peak year of usage was 1898, during the late 19th century. Since then, the name has remained extremely uncommon, with a trajectory described as stable. It is not associated with any specific state or region, as it has never been popular enough to register in top state lists. For parents interested in a distinctive historical name with a straightforward pronunciation, Tilmon offers a connection to the late 1800s without being tied to any famous bearer or cultural trend.

Tilmon is believed to be a variant of the English surname Tilman, which itself derived from the Old English personal name Tila, a short form of names like Tilwine or Tilbeorht. The name has seen very limited use as a given name, most notably in the late 19th century in the United States, where it appeared on the Social Security records during the 1880s and 1890s.
