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.
The name gained moderate popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, possibly influenced by public figures bearing the name. Unlike many traditional names, Demond does not have widespread historical or linguistic roots beyond its modern usage.
