Census
Tremond in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 128 people with the first name Tremond, which placed it at #49,019 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

The next largest groups are Two or More Races (3.9%) and American Indian/Alaska Native (2.3%).

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Tremond described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Tremond at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Tremond
The given name Tremond has its origins in the French language, with roots dating back to the Middle Ages. It is believed to have originated from the Old French words "tre" meaning "very" and "mond" meaning "world," thus suggesting a meaning of "very worldly" or "worldly one."
The name was particularly prevalent in the northern regions of France, such as Normandy and Brittany, during the 11th and 12th centuries. Its earliest recorded usage can be traced to medieval records, where it was often spelled as "Trémond" or "Traymond."
One of the earliest known historical references to the name Tremond can be found in the 13th-century French epic poem "Le Roman de Tristan et Iseut" (The Romance of Tristan and Isolde), where a character named Tremond is mentioned as a knight in King Arthur's court.
In the 14th century, a notable figure bearing the name Tremond was Sir Tremond de Montfort, a French nobleman and military commander who fought in the Hundred Years' War against England. He lived from approximately 1320 to 1385.
During the Renaissance period, a French poet and playwright named Tremond Dubois gained recognition for his works in the late 16th century. He was born in Paris around 1545 and is known for his satirical plays and poems that criticized the social and political norms of his time.
In the 18th century, a French philosopher and writer named Tremond Voltaire, born in 1704, gained widespread acclaim for his works that challenged the traditional beliefs and institutions of the time. He was a prominent figure during the Age of Enlightenment and is considered one of the most influential thinkers of his era.
Another notable figure with the name Tremond was Tremond Dumas, a French writer and playwright born in 1824. He is best known for his historical novels and plays that explored themes of adventure, romance, and social commentary.
While the name Tremond has its roots in the French language and culture, it has also been adopted and used in various other parts of the world, particularly in regions with French influence or historical connections.

FAQ
Tremond: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tremond?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 86 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tremond going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 3,985,516 US residents.
Is Tremond a common name?
We classify Tremond as "Very Rare". It ranks above 62.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 88 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tremond most popular?
The single biggest year for Tremond was 1997, when 9 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tremond is about 30 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Tremond in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 128 people with the name Tremond, or 0.04 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #49,019 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Tremond in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Tremond?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Tremond appears almost entirely male. Of the 120 people counted with this name, 100.0% were male and only a very small share were female. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Tremond?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Tremond is Black at 93.0%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (3.9%) and American Indian/Alaska Native (2.3%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Tremond most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Tremond in the 2020 Census, accounting for 93.0% (119 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Tremond in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tremond a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Tremond in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Tremond still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tremond in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Tremond can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
