Damond
Meaning of Damond
Damond, pronounced DAY-muhnd (/ˈdeɪmənd/) in American English, constitutes an English masculine given name derived as a phonetic variant of the classical Greek Damon, itself rooted in the verb δαμάν (“to tame”). The name’s historical resonance stems from the legendary bond of Damon and Pythias, which has long symbolized ideals of loyalty, self-mastery and disciplined strength, imparting to modern bearers an aura of steadfast fidelity tempered by inner restraint. Although Damond achieved its highest recorded popularity in the United States during the mid-1970s—peaking at rank 539 in 1974—it has since maintained a marginal yet persistent presence, registering fewer than twenty annual occurrences since 2010 and fluctuating between ranks 872 and 915 in the period 2022–2024. This sustained rarity within contemporary naming statistics underscores its ongoing appeal as an uncommon but technically precise appellation that marries classical heritage with a distinct Anglo-American phonological identity.
