History & Origin

Tremont is a surname and place-name from the French trois monts or Latin tri montem, three mountains or hills. It marks several American places, most famously the Tremont of early Boston, named for its three hills. As a given name it reads either as that heritage place-name or as a modern blend of the Tre- prefix with a -mont ending.

Tremont was never common as a first name, given to only about twenty boys a year at its faint peak in the late nineteen-nineties. A boy named Tremont then is in his late twenties today.
