Lymon is English in Origin.

Lymon is an English surname-turned-given name, most often treated as a variant spelling of Lyman. The surname Lyman is explained in two ways: from Old English leah “meadow, clearing” + mann “person,” giving the sense “dweller by the meadow,” or as a locational surname meaning “man from Lyme,” referring to historic woodlands whose name likely stems from a Brittonic word for “elm.” Either path yields a nature-tinged meaning tied to meadows or elm-woods.

As a given name, Lymon is rare but documented in the United States since the late 19th century, with a brief cultural echo thanks to 1950s singer Frankie Lymon. Variants and related forms include Lyman (standard), Liman and Limon (alternate spellings), while Lemon and Leman are historically related surnames; Spanish Limón (“lemon”) is a separate etymology. The -mon ending aligns it with Damon and Simon yet preserves a crisp, surname-style feel.
