History & Origin

Thermon is a spelling-variant of Thurman, a surname that goes back to the Norse personal name Thormundr, 'Thor's protection'. Brought into English as a family name, it joined the American stock of surnames used as boys' first names, and the ther- spelling reflects a regional pronunciation of the more usual Thurman.

In United States records Thermon was always uncommon, drawing only a couple dozen boys a year even at its high around 1927 while Thurman itself was better known. A boy named Thermon then belongs to a great-grandfather's generation now, his name a quiet variant carrying an old Norse god at its root.

Did you know? Thermon carries the name of the thunder-god Thor at its front, the same Thor found in Thursday and in names like Thorbjorn.
