History & Origin
Lamond is a variant of Lamont, a surname of the Scottish Highlands that comes from the Old Norse personal name Logmadr, 'law-man' or 'lawgiver', a reminder of Norse influence on medieval Scotland. Families adopted the surname as a first name, and Lamond is one of its spellings.
It was never common, cresting around 1972 at only a few dozen boys a year and remaining rare; the Lamont spelling was always the more usual. It reads as a surname-style given name rather than a mainstream or revived choice.
