The history of the last name Allmon

The surname ALLMON originated from England during the medieval period. It is derived from the Old English words "ald" meaning "old" and "mann" meaning "man." The name was likely first used as a descriptive nickname referring to an elderly or aged man.

The earliest recorded instance of the ALLMON surname dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was spelled "Aldeman." This vital historical record from the Middle Ages documented landowners and property ownership across much of England and parts of Wales shortly after the Norman Conquest.

In the 13th century, variations such as "Aldmon" and "Aldemon" began appearing in parish records and tax rolls across various counties in England, including Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Nottinghamshire. These early spellings reflect the regional dialects and scribal variations common during that era.

One of the earliest known bearers of the ALLMON name was Sir William Aldemon, a knight who fought alongside Richard the Lionheart during the Third Crusade in the late 12th century. He was born around 1165 in Lincolnshire and died in 1222.

Another notable figure was John Allman, a wealthy merchant and landowner from Nottinghamshire who lived during the 15th century. He was born around 1410 and died in 1486. His affluence and prominence in the region are evident from records of his land transactions and business dealings.

In the 16th century, the surname was often associated with the village of Allman's Green in Cheshire, derived from the Old English words "ald" and "mann" combined with "grene" meaning "green" or common pasture land. This suggests that some early bearers of the name may have originated from or resided in this area.

During the 17th century, notable individuals with the ALLMON surname included Robert Allman, a clergyman and author born in Yorkshire in 1610, and Thomas Allmon, a merchant and ship owner from Bristol who lived from 1635 to 1698.

Another individual of historical significance was Sir Edward Allmon, a British naval officer and explorer who was born in London in 1670. He served in the Royal Navy and is known for his voyages to the West Indies and mapping of the Caribbean islands in the early 18th century.
