A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

A surname recorded in CD., and found in Dalkeith in 1689 (Laing). (1) It may be a descendant of Old English personal name Ealhmund, a name which appears in the Northumbrian genealogies as Alchmund (Sweet, Oldest English texts, p. 168). In the absence of intermediate links it is not safe to assume the connection. (2) It might also be from Almond, the river, which gives name to places, Almondbank, etc.

The Surnames of Scotland (1946) by George Fraser Black (1866-1948)

The same as Almund, Ellmund, and the Ælmund of Domesday; from Gaelic alf-mund, strong or powerful protector. Ferguson also thinks Almond may be from the Anglo-Saxon name Alhmund, Old Norse Amundr, from mumd, protection. From Almond we doubtless have the names Almon, Ellman, Holman, Oldman, Element.
