Rémond

Rémond is a surname of French origin that is also encountered as a place name in some Francophone regions. The name is attested in medieval records and has several spelling variants, including Remond, Rémond, and Remont. The exact etymology is not definitively established; it is commonly treated as a derivative of an old given name such as Remond or Raimund, the latter related to the name Raymond. In this interpretation, Rémond would have originated as a patronymic, naming a descendant of a man named Remond/Raimund.

Today, Rémond is most frequently found in France, with higher concentrations in western and southwestern departments, and it is also present in neighboring Belgium and in Francophone diaspora communities in Canada and the United States. The distribution reflects historical migration and settlement patterns in Francophone regions.

Notable bearers of the surname have appeared in various spheres, including public administration, education, and culture, though no single figure dominates the name's public presence. As a toponym, Rémond may appear in local place-names or historical references to specific estates or parishes, though such uses are typically limited in scope and vary by region.
