Laymon is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin, derived from Old English elements 'læh' meaning 'battle' and 'mōn' meaning 'adviser'. The name Laymon was brought to the United States by early settlers from England and has since become more prevalent in America than in its country of origin. It is considered a rare name, adding to its charm and appeal for those who wish to honor tradition while offering something unique.
The name Laymon experienced varied popularity throughout the years from 1908 to 1995, with a significant peak in 1936 (22 births). The majority of years showed a steady range between 5 and 15 births annually, indicating consistent but not overwhelming usage. However, there were notable fluctuations: a low point in 1972 and 1974-1977 with only 5 births each year, and several peaks above 15 births per year. Overall, Laymon was not exceptionally common, but it did maintain a constant presence among newborns during this period.
