Karmon

Meaning of Karmon

Karmon, pronounced /kɑrmən/, constitutes a distinctive Anglo-American feminine given name that etymologically bridges classical Latin and Semitic heritages. It ostensibly derives from the Latin term carmen, meaning “song” or “poem,” while simultaneously invoking the Hebrew Carmel, denoting both a biblical promontory and “vineyard of God,” thereby conferring upon it a dual-layered cultural resonance. The orthographic adaptation—substituting a K for the customary C—functions as a contemporary strategy to assert individuality within English-language naming conventions. Although its incidence remains relatively low, Social Security Administration records document its presence in the United States since the mid-20th century, with decennial rankings oscillating between the 700s and 900s and a standing at rank 951 in 2018, a pattern that underscores its persistent yet uncommon utilisation.
