Hamond is English in Origin.

Hamond traces to the Anglo-Norman personal name Hamon, itself from continental Germanic Haimo, formed on haim “home, settlement.” The -d in Hamond is a late medieval spelling development, and the form often overlaps with Hammond. In northern England there was also occasional blending with Old Norse Hámundr (há “high” + mundr “protection”), which gives an alternative sense, “high protection.” Together these roots yield the readings “man of the home” or “home-protection.”

Brought to England by the Normans, the name appears in 11th–13th‑century records and flourished in medieval parish rolls before declining as a given name and persisting chiefly as the surname Hammond/Hamond. The given name reappears sporadically in Early Modern registers and today feels rare and antique. Variants and related forms include Hamon, Hammond, Hamo, Hamund/Hamundr, and French Hamon; short form Ham. Usage is uncommon in the Anglophone world, lending Hamond a quietly historic character.
