History & Origin
Carmon varies Carmen, whose story runs two ways: the Spanish name honors Our Lady of Mount Carmel β from Hebrew karmel, 'garden' or 'orchard' β while by folk association it also evokes Latin carmen, 'song, poem'. Carmon is a homespun American spelling that keeps both threads.
Carmon has a faint American record from around 1900, cresting about 1968 and thinning after, always uncommon β only a few dozen girls a year. It reads as an old-fashioned, plainly spelled cousin of Carmen.
