History & Origin

Carmon is one of the American spellings of Carman / Carmine that turned up on boys a century ago. The Italian Carmine traces to Latin carmen, 'song', and to the title Our Lady of Mount Carmel; Carman also stood as an English surname.

It was never common, cresting quietly around 1923 and appearing thinly for decades afterward. It reads today as an antique, and as a boy's form it sits apart from the now-feminine Carmen.

Did you know? Though Carmen is now read mostly as a girl's name, Carmon appears in early-1900s records as a boy's name, given to only a few dozen a year at its height.
