What is the meaning of the name Lamond ?

Lamond is Scottish in Origin.

Lamond is a Scottish surname-turned-given name tied to Clan Lamont of Argyll. Its deeper roots lie in the Old Norse personal name Lǫgmaðr (Lagmann) “lawman, law‑speaker,” which entered Gaelic and yielded the patronymic Mac Laomainn (“son of the lawman”), later Anglicized as Lamont, Lamond, and related spellings. The name therefore carries the sense of legal authority and public eloquence.

As a forename, Lamond emerged through surname adoption in the English‑speaking world, appearing in Scotland and the Scottish diaspora from the 18th–19th centuries and gaining modest U.S. use in the mid‑20th century, particularly in African‑American communities. Common variants and near-variants include Lamont, Lamonte, Leamond, and the stylistic LaMond; feminine or elaborated forms such as Lamonda also occur. Because of its La‑ prefix, it is sometimes folk‑etymologized as French for “the world,” but its authentic meaning is Norse‑Gaelic: “lawman, interpreter of the law.”
