Lamoine is a unique, unisex first name of French origin. It is derived from the French word 'lame,' which translates to 'shame' or 'disgrace.' However, in some contexts, it can also be associated with 'the waves of the sea,' due to its phonetic similarity to 'lambeaux,' meaning 'waves.' Despite its potentially intriguing meanings, Lamoine remains quite rare, making it an unusual and distinctive choice for a first name.
The name Lamoine experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with the highest number of births occurring in 1925 at nine. The decade between 1920 and 1929 saw consistent birth numbers ranging from five to six annually. There was a significant dip after that period until it picked up again in the 1940s with five births each year for two consecutive years.
