Demond or DeMond is a masculine given name and a surname primarily used in the United States. Though sometimes considered a modern or phonetic variation of the name Desmond, Demond has developed distinct usage and cultural associations, particularly within African-American communities.[1]
The name gained moderate popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, possibly influenced by public figures bearing the name.[2] Unlike many traditional names, Demond does not have widespread historical or linguistic roots beyond its modern usage.
