About Ammon
Ammon is connected to two religions in the US and is used exclusively between the two of them. Prior to the 1960s, Ammon was considered a solely Amish name. In the Amish community, Ammon is bestowed in honor of Jacob Amman, whom the Amish sect is named after.
These days, Ammon is also a Mormon name. There are two figures called Ammon in The Book of Mormom, one being a powerful missionary, and Utah now has the largest number of babies named Ammon each year.
Ammon is also a Greek form of Egyptian Yamanu or Amon, the Egyptian god of air, creativity and fertility, who was later merged with the sun god Ra, to make the supreme deity, Amon-Ra.
Pronounced AM-un.
As of October 2026, Ammon ranked #2798 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #602 in 1891.
