The history of the last name Allmond

The surname ALLMOND is of English origin, deriving from the Old English word 'almund', meaning 'almond tree'. It is believed to have originated as a topographic name, given to someone who lived near an almond tree or a place where almond trees grew.

The earliest recorded instance of the name dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as 'de Almundesham', referring to a place in Norfolk. This suggests that the name may have originally been a locational surname, denoting someone from a place called Almundesham or a similar variation.

In the 13th century, the name is found in various forms, including 'de Almund', 'de Alemaund', and 'de Alemande', reflecting the different spellings used during that time period. These variations likely stem from the Old French word 'almande', also meaning 'almond'.

One of the earliest known bearers of the name was Sir William de Almaund, a knight who lived in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. He was granted lands in Hertfordshire and is mentioned in several historical records from that era.

Another notable figure was John Almond, a merchant and alderman in the City of London, who was born in the late 15th century and served as Lord Mayor of London in 1524-1525.

In the 16th century, the name had evolved into its more modern spelling of 'Allmond', as seen in the case of Thomas Allmond, a vintner and citizen of London, who was born in the early 1500s.

During the English Civil War in the 17th century, Colonel Robert Allmond served as a Royalist officer and is mentioned in several accounts of the conflict.

In the 18th century, the name appears to have been particularly prevalent in the counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire, with notable individuals such as William Allmond, a merchant and landowner from Leeds, who lived from 1702 to 1790.

Throughout history, the ALLMOND surname has been found in various parts of England, with concentrations in areas like Norfolk, Hertfordshire, and Yorkshire, reflecting its early origins and the migration patterns of its bearers.
