Drummund is Scottish in Origin.

Drummund is a rare given-name form of the Scottish surname Drummond, rooted in Scottish Gaelic. It derives from druim “ridge, back” and the place‑name An Druiminn (“the little ridge”), anglicized as Drymen in Stirlingshire; the sense is “from the ridge” or “ridge-dweller.” As a clan name, Drummond is tied to Perthshire, with medieval prominence through figures such as Annabella Drummond, queen consort of Robert III of Scotland.

Used as a forename from the 19th century onward in Scotland and the wider English‑speaking world, Drummund remains uncommon and feels distinctive, carrying a sturdy Scottish toponymic flavor. Spelling variants include Drummond (standard) and Drumond (common in Lusophone contexts); short forms and nicknames include Drum and Dru. The -mund ending encourages association with Old English -mund (“protection”), but this is folk etymology rather than the source.
