Kalmon is Hebrew in Origin.

Kalmon is a rare masculine given name most commonly understood as a variant of Kalman/Kalmen/Kolman. In Jewish usage it is linked to the medieval Hebrew-Yiddish name Kalonymus (from Greek kalos “good” + onoma “name”), long borne by prominent Ashkenazi families of the Rhineland and later Eastern Europe; Kalmon appears in records as a dialectal or orthographic form alongside Kalman/Kalmen. In Central Europe, the name also intersects with the Hungarian Kálmán and German Koloman, forms of Coloman/Colmán - ultimately from Irish Colmán, “little dove,” a name made notable by Saint Coloman (d. 1012), venerated in Austria and Hungary.

Variants and related forms include Kalman, Kalmen, Kolman, Koloman, Kálmán, Coloman, and Colmán; surnames such as Kalman/Kolman/Kalmon also developed independently. Usage today is uncommon but persists in Jewish and Hungarian diasporas, where Kalmon can honor either the “good name” tradition or the “little dove” saintly heritage.
