Dillamond
Origin:American
Meaning:Of the pond; Of the pool; Of the mountain
Dillamond is a masculine name of American creation. It’s a subtle way to connect baby to your love for musical theater, especially Wicked. In the book, stage musical, and movie, Doctor Dillamond is a professor and goat with the ability to speak and think like a human. While his ending is tragic, his story turns into a symbol of standing up for your beliefs, even in the face of adversity. While Dillamond was a creation of the author Gregor Maguire, it may come from some longstanding last names. One possible inspiration is the English Dillamore, which translates to “of the pond” or “of the pool.” For a more elevated touch, it can also mean “of the mountain,” from the Old French Delmonti. With a name like this, baby will be swimming and climbing through the world in no time.
