Dymond
Primarily a girl's name with 1,871 recorded births. Also given to 81 boys.
Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Dymond is a girl's and boy's baby name of English origin, a phonetic spelling variant of Diamond, from the Old French "diamant" and Greek "adamas" meaning "unconquerable, unbreakable." Diamond as a given name became popular in African-American communities in the 1990s–2000s as a precious stone name.
Dymond carries the hardest substance on earth in a name — the geological fact that some things, subjected to enough pressure, become permanent and brilliant and impossible to break, a fitting declaration for any child entering a difficult world.
EtymologyShow more
Dymond's linguistic roots are not definitively traced to a single tradition. Names that emerged in late-twentieth-century America were often created by blending sounds, respelling existing names, or combining elements from multiple languages — a form of linguistic creativity that makes pinning down a single origin difficult.
What the data does show: Dymond has 1,871 recorded U.S. births as a girl's name, with its sharp, distinct ending ending on a consonant gives it a firm, clear close.
