What is the meaning of the name Lamun ?

The baby name Lamun is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced lah-MOON (IPA: /laˈmun/).

Lamun is Indonesian, Malay in Origin.

Lamun is a Thai given name drawn from the adjective ละมุน (lamun), which means gentle, soft, and pleasantly mellow, often describing a delicate texture, voice, or fragrance. As a virtue-style choice, it embodies hopes for tenderness, kindness, and refinement, and its understated elegance suits contemporary Thai naming tastes.

In Thailand it has seen modern use as both a stand‑alone name and within compounds, and is considered unisex though it tends to be given to girls. Romanization is variable, producing spellings such as Lamoon and Lamoun; Moon is a common affectionate nickname. Thai script: ละมุน. While rare outside Southeast Asia, it travels well due to its simple form and gentle sound. Note that similar spellings occur in Arabic dialects (e.g., lamoun “lemon”), but that etymology is unrelated to the Thai name’s meaning.
