Re: meaning of surname LAMON in USA
I found a "Lamont" who are found mostly in Ulster and N. Leinster. They were a Scottish family of Argyle, said to be descended from the O'Neills. The name is of Norse origin.

In Irish, it is written Mac Laghmainn ...the closest I could find on McBain's dictionary is:

laimhrig
landing place, harbour: from Norse hlað-hamarr, pier or loading rock, Shet. Laamar. Also lamraig.
