Meaning & origin
Wilmon is an ultra-rare English name that saw its brief heyday in the early 20th century. First recorded in 1913, it reached its peak usage in 1922, but never entered the top 1,000. The name's trajectory has been stable at extremely low frequency since the 1920s, with no recorded usage in recent decades. While no top states are associated with the name, it likely appeared sporadically across the country. Wilmon is a curious relic of the era when creative variants of William, such as Wilmot and Wilmer, enjoyed modest popularity. Parents seeking a distinctively uncommon name with familiar roots might find Wilmon an intriguing, if obscure, choice.
Wilmon is a rare given name of English origin, likely derived as a variant of Wilmot (from Will, a short form of William, plus the diminutive suffix -ot) or as a combination of Will and the Old English element mon ('man'). It saw modest use in the early 20th century, particularly in the United States, but has never been common.
