(English) Descendant of Hamo or Hamon (home); descendant of Heahmund (chief, protector).
Hamo is a well-known Domesd. personal name, which in later times assumed the form of Hamon, Hamond, Hammond.
Him—mount, the town or house on the elevation. It may come from Hamon.
Hammond. —This name has two principal areas: one in the south - eastern and eastern coast counties of England south of the Humber, Kent, Suffolk, and Norfolk containing the name in the greatest frequency; the other, a less important area, situated in the counties lying on and in the vicinity of the Welsh border, Cheshire possessing the largest number. Evidently this surname has characterised the eastern coast counties of England for several centuries. Derived from Hamo, a well - known Domesday personal name, we find it in the form of Hamo, Hamon, Hamond, Hammund, etc., during the reign of Edward I. in the same eastern coast counties where it is now established, namely in Norfolk, Kent, and Lincoln; it also occurred at that time as Hamon in the county of Cambridge. (Hundred Rolls.) The circumstance of this name having been established in the same part of England since the thirteenth century is one of considerable interest.
