Lammond is Scottish in Origin.

Lammond is a Scottish surname-turned-given name, a spelling variant of Lamond/Lamont rooted in Old Norse logmadr, "lawman," filtered through the Gaelic personal name Laomann and borne by Clan Lamont of Argyll. The original logmadr was the law-speaker of Norse assemblies, so the name carries the sense of "man of law" or "legal advocate." As a given name, Lammond has been rare but appears in 19th-20th century records among the Scottish diaspora, particularly in North America and Australasia, while persisting more commonly as a surname in Scotland.

Spelling and related forms include Lamond, Lamont, Lammont, Lamonde, and Lamonte; stylistic capitalizations like LaMont/LaMond also occur. The Gaelic family form is MacLaomainn ("son of Laomann"). Nicknames may include Lam or Monty. Today Lammond feels distinctive yet heritage-rich, balancing a rugged Highland-clan association with a learned meaning tied to law and civic authority.
