History & Origin

Damont is a modern coinage that blends the fashionable Da- opening with the -mont ending seen in Lamont, which traces to French mont, 'mountain.' It also brushes against Damon, the Greek name meaning 'to tame,' so several pleasant echoes gather in one crisp name.

The name stayed rare, reaching a small high around 1974 before easing off. A Damont from that time is in his fifties today.

Did you know? The -mont ending carries a faint sense of 'mountain' from the French, giving names like Lamont and Damont a subtly lofty, landscape-tinged sound.
