Laumet

Laumet is a surname of French origin that appears in historical records dating back to the early modern period. The name is relatively uncommon in contemporary usage but can be found in genealogical sources and civil registry records in France and among descendants of French emigrants in North America. The etymology is not definitively established; it is often considered to derive from a place-name element or from a diminutive form of a personal name, reflecting a possible toponymic or patronymic origin.

Laumet also appears as part of geographic names in France, where it may designate a locality associated with landholding, a farm, or a smaller settlement within a larger commune. In many cases, such toponyms exist primarily as historical or administrative references and are not independent municipalities.

Because Laumet is not strongly associated with a widely recognized figure or an independently governed locality, there are no universally acknowledged individuals or places that carry the name in a stand-alone sense. The name primarily persists in historical records, genealogical research, and as components of longer place names in various regions.
