Dalmon is in Origin.
Dalmon is a rare masculine given name with two plausible origins. As a transferred surname in English and Scandinavian contexts, it links to Dalman/Dallman, from Old English dæl + mann, “valley” + “man,” yielding the sense “valley dweller” or “man from the dale.” Some bearers also treat Dalmon as a reshaped form of Damon, influenced by names like Dalton, with the Greek root damazō, “to tame, subdue,” giving an alternate meaning of “one who tames.”
Usage appears sporadically in Britain and North America from the late 19th century, fitting the surname-as-first-name trend, and continues at low frequency in the U.S. Variants and related forms include Dalman, Dallman, Delmon, Delman; by sound and modern style, Damon, Daymon, and Daemon sit nearby. Short forms such as Dal or Dally occur informally. The name’s crisp consonants and familiar -mon ending lend it a tailored, contemporary feel.
