LAMOUNT


SOURCE

At first, "Lamount" seems kind of like a lazily-Anglicized version of "Lamont".

The name "Lamont" is apparently taken from Old Norse and means "Law Man", whereas you could be forgiven for thinking it came actually from French and meant "The Mount". As it is, "Lamount" means neither of these things, so you are free to come up with your own unique meaning for it.

For a truly African-Americanized version, his parents should have gone with an apostrophe for "La'Mount", or pulled what's commonly known as a "LeVar Burton move" and capitalized the "M" for "LaMount". Just because they can. Or could have, had they actually taken the time to think about it.

Either way, on a ten point scale for creativity, I'm giving Lamount a measly 2.5
