Lamont

Lamont is a boy’s name derived from the Old Norse name Logmaðr, meaning “lawman.” During the medieval era in Scotland and possibly Northern Ireland, it evolved into the name Lagman, which eventually became Lamont. Lamont is also a French last name historically used by people from places with “Mont” in their name, usually near or in a mountainous region. As a first name, Lamont is most commonly found in the US, where it reached peak popularity in 1972. A famous Lamont is rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member Lamont Jody Hawkins, better known as U-God.
