Meaning & origin

Vermon is an extremely rare name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1912, its peak year. According to Social Security data, the name has never had a rank in the top 10,000 and has a one-in-N value that is effectively incalculable due to its scarcity. As of the latest data in 2025, it has not been recorded in any top states. The name has remained stable in usage, with only a handful of instances each decade. Vermon appears to be a variant of Vernon, an English surname-turned-given name derived from an Old French place name meaning 'alder grove'. Due to its very low frequency, no famous bearers have been identified, and it remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon name.

Vermon likely arose as a variant spelling of Vernon, an English surname and place name derived from Old French 'vernon' meaning 'alder grove'. The name Vernon itself was introduced to England by the Normans after the Conquest. Vermon, however, first appeared in U.S. records in 1912 and has always been extremely rare, possibly a respelling or phonetic variant.
