The history of the last name Larmond

The surname Larmond is of Scottish origin, derived from the Gaelic word "lar" meaning "level ground" or "meadow." It is believed to have originated in the 11th or 12th century, when surnames first came into use in Scotland. The name likely referred to someone who lived on or near a level area of land.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Larmond can be found in the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland from the late 13th century. These records mention a person named William de Larmonde, who was associated with the county of Fife.

In the 15th century, the name appeared in the form of "Larmounth" in the Ragman Rolls, a record of Scottish nobles and landowners who swore allegiance to King Edward I of England in 1296. This suggests that the Larmond family held some standing and land during that time.

The surname Larmond has also been linked to the Scottish place name Larmont, which is derived from the same Gaelic root. This place name can be found in various historical records, such as the Retours of Services of Heirs from the 16th century.

One notable person with the surname Larmond was Sir James Larmond (1554-1618), a Scottish clergyman and writer who served as the Bishop of Dunkeld. He was a prominent figure in the Scottish Reformation and wrote several religious works.

Another individual of note was John Larmond (1803-1879), a Scottish mathematician and educator. He was a professor at the University of Glasgow and made significant contributions to the field of mathematics education.

In the 19th century, the Larmond family had a presence in the United States. James Larmond (1822-1901), born in Scotland, was a successful merchant and businessman in New York City. He was involved in the import and export trade and became quite wealthy.

The surname Larmond has also been associated with the Scottish clan system. Some sources suggest that the Larmonds may have been a sept (a branch or subdivision) of the larger Clan Campbell, although the connection is not entirely clear.

Throughout history, the Larmond surname has undergone various spellings, including Larmount, Larmonde, and Larmounth, reflecting the regional dialects and variations in pronunciation.
