Drumond is a streamlined variant of the Scottish surname Drummond, later adopted as a given name. It ultimately comes from Scottish Gaelic druim, “ridge, back,” via the form dromainn, indicating someone who lived on or by a ridge. The surname is tied to the Drummond lands near Drymen in Stirlingshire and Perthshire, and Drumond follows the English-speaking practice of turning distinguished surnames and place-names into first names.

The Drummond clan has been prominent in Scottish history since the medieval era, and the name appears in literature through the poet William Drummond of Hawthornden. Modern spellings include Drummond (standard) and Drumond (a simplified form also found in some Lusophone records). Short forms such as Drum occur. Meaning “ridge-dweller” or “from the ridge,” Drumond conveys a sense of groundedness, stability, and quiet strength.
