Drumund is Scottish Gaelic in Origin.

Drumund is a rare modern respelling of Drummond, a Scottish surname adopted as a given name. The root is Scottish Gaelic druim/dromainn, "ridge" or "back," used in place-names for long, raised hills; thus the sense is "from the ridge" or "ridge dweller." The surname arose in central Scotland and became associated with the historic Clan Drummond, but its etymology is straightforwardly topographic rather than patronymic.

As a first name, Drumund follows the late-Victorian and contemporary trend of using sturdy surnames. Historical bearers of the surname include the poet William Drummond of Hawthornden, which reinforced literary visibility.
