History & Origin
Demont belongs to the wave of De- first names American parents built in the later twentieth century, here on a French-flavored base that reads as de mont, 'of the mountain'. It sits beside Lamont and the surname Dumont, borrowing their crisp, upward sound without a documented family line.
Only a couple dozen boys a year were named Demont, with a quiet high point in the mid-nineteen-seventies and a long thin tail into the twenty-tens. A boy given it at that peak is about fifty now. The name never became common, but its clean two-beat shape has kept it faintly alive.
