History & Origin

Lamount is a variant of Lamont, a Scottish clan surname from Old Norse Logmadr, 'lawman' or 'law-giver,' a legacy of Viking-era contact with western Scotland. Like many Scottish surnames it became a first name in America, and the -mount spelling reflects the taste for names that look like 'mount'; the meaning stays with the lawman root.

The spelling was always scarce, given to only a dozen or so boys a year around its peak near 1973, and it stayed uncommon. A boy named Lamount then is in his fifties today.

Did you know? The Lamonts were a historic Scottish clan whose name means 'lawman,' from a Norse title carried into Gaelic Scotland centuries ago.
