History & Origin

Charmon appears to be a mid-twentieth-century American coinage shaped from the Charmaine and Charmian family, whose ultimate root is the Greek charma, a source of joy or delight. Trimmed to two syllables and an -on ending, it fit the era's taste for streamlined, custom spellings; its exact inspiration for any one family is uncertain.

Charmon was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak in the late nineteen-sixties, then fading. A girl named Charmon then is in her late fifties today.

Did you know? Charmon's likely cousin Charmaine got a boost from the popular song of that name, and mid-century parents spun off a run of respellings like Charmon and Sharmon in its wake.
