Origin
Meaning and history of Kemond
The name Kemond is a relatively modern invention, believed to have originated in the late 20th century. It does not have a clear linguistic or cultural origin, nor does it appear to be derived from any ancient words or languages. There are no known historical references to this name in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records from previous centuries.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Kemond can be found in a few scattered birth records from the 1970s and 1980s, primarily in the United States. However, it remained an extremely rare name until more recent times. The lack of historical usage or documentation suggests that Kemond is a newly coined name, possibly created by combining elements from other existing names or words.
Due to its modern inception, there are no famous historical figures or individuals of note who bore the name Kemond prior to the late 20th century. The name's rarity and lack of widespread recognition make it difficult to identify any notable individuals with this first name from earlier periods.
It is worth mentioning, however, that in recent decades, a handful of individuals with the first name Kemond have gained some recognition in various fields, primarily in the United States. For example, Kemond Smith is a former American football player who played in the National Football League (NFL) in the early 2000s. Kemond Anakwah is a Canadian artist and musician known for his work in the reggae genre.
While the name Kemond may have gained some popularity in certain regions or communities, its historical roots and origins remain largely obscure. As a relatively new name, its meaning and significance are yet to be fully established and documented, leaving room for further exploration and understanding in the years to come.

FAQ
Kemond: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Kemond?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 73 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Kemond going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 4,695,265 US residents.
Is Kemond a common name?
We classify Kemond as "Very Rare". It ranks above 60% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 74 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Kemond most popular?
The single biggest year for Kemond was 2006, when 12 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Kemond is about 22 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Kemond in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Kemond a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Kemond in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Kemond still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Kemond in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Kemond can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
