Lemond as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Lemond

What is the meaning of the name Lemond ?

The baby name Lemond is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced luh-MOND (lə-MOND) — commonly pronounced ləˈmɒnd; occasional variant LEM-ond.

Lemond is French in Origin.

Lemond is most commonly a modern given name derived from surnames. In French contexts, it aligns with Le Mont or LeMond, habitational surnames meaning “the hill” or “the mountain.” In Scotland and Ireland it overlaps with Lamond/Lamont, a clan name tracing to Old Norse Lǫgmaðr “lawman,” later Gaelicized as Lagamann/Lamont. Both lines feed into English-language surname-to-forename use, giving Lemond senses of steadfastness (the mountain) or fairness and authority (the lawman).

As a personal name in the United States, Lemond appears from the mid‑20th century, with higher visibility in African‑American naming and a late‑1970s to 1980s bump alongside the popularity of Lamont and the public profile of cyclist Greg LeMond. Variants and related forms include Lamond, Lamont, LeMond, LeMont, Le’Mond, and, less often, Lemon. Nicknames such as Mon, Mont, or Lee are common. Gender use is primarily male.
