Richmound Origin and Meaning

The name Richmound is a boy's name.

Richmound is an uncommon masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Richmond, which originated as an English surname meaning 'rich hill' or 'strong hill.' As a given name, Richmond gained modest use in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with the variant Richmound being considerably rarer. The name carries aristocratic associations through its connection to Richmond, Virginia, and the English dukedom of Richmond. This alternative spelling maintains the strong, dignified qualities of the original while offering a unique twist. The name projects stability and prosperity through both its meaning and sound, appealing to parents drawn to names with strong consonants and traditional English heritage.
