The history of the last name Hallmon

The surname HALLMON is believed to have originated in England, likely during the medieval period. It is thought to be derived from a combination of the Old English words "hall" and "mann," meaning "hall man" or someone who worked or lived in a hall or manor house.

One of the earliest recorded instances of this surname can be found in the Pipe Rolls of Staffordshire from 1199, where a person named Richard Hallemon is mentioned. This suggests that variations of the spelling, such as Hallemon, were in use as early as the 12th century.

In the Hundred Rolls of 1273, a record of landowners in England, there is a reference to a Richard de Haulman from Worcestershire. The prefix "de" in this case indicates a connection to a specific place or location, further supporting the theory that the name was related to a person's occupation or residence.

During the 14th century, the surname appears in various forms, including Halman, Haulman, and Hallemon, in records from counties such as Norfolk, Suffolk, and Lincolnshire. This suggests that the name was well-established and widespread across different regions of England.

One notable individual with the surname HALLMON was John Hallman, born in 1615 in Gloucestershire. He was a member of the English gentry and served as a Member of Parliament for Westbury from 1654 to 1659.

In the 18th century, a record from 1765 mentions a Thomas Hallmon, a farmer from Dorset, who was involved in a legal dispute over land rights.

The Hallmon surname also appeared in Scotland, with records indicating a family of that name residing in Aberdeenshire in the late 17th century. One notable individual was Robert Hallmon, born in 1682, who served as a magistrate in the city of Aberdeen.
