Garmon
A surname with several possible roots, most likely a regional or patronymic form that developed as a spelling variant of older European names.
The #6,318 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 57,143 Americans shares it.
Etymology
Garmon is not a surname with a single securely established origin. In English-speaking records it is often best treated as a variant spelling that may have grown out of older surnames such as Germanic Garman/Germann or related forms, and in some cases it may reflect local pronunciation changes from another name. A separate possibility is Welsh influence, since Garmon is also the Welsh form of the personal name Germain/Germanus, though that is more often seen as a given-name form than as a family name.
History
The surname is relatively uncommon in the United States and is likely to have multiple independent origins rather than one single family line. Like many short surnames, it may have been standardized differently in various immigrant or local-recording traditions, which can make its early history hard to pin down. In practice, bearers of the name may descend from families with English, German, or Welsh connections.
