History & Origin
Delmon looks like a trimmed form of Delmont or Delmore, surname names carrying the French sense of the mountain. It appeared for American boys only sparingly, around 1917, and later gained a note of recognition through baseball.
It was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at most, and it had faded by the late twentieth century. A boy named Delmon then would be over a hundred today. It reads as a vintage Del- name rather than a current choice.
