History & Origin
Lamoine traces to the French surname Lemoine or Lamoine, 'the monk,' from le moine. It settled into American given-name use, particularly among families with French-Canadian or Louisiana roots, and its La- opening also chimes with the La- prefix names that flourished in the same era.
It was never common, given to only around fifteen boys a year even at its peak in the mid-nineteen-twenties, and it stayed scarce. A boy named Lamoine then would be a great-grandfather today.
