Beamon

Beamon is a masculine name that likely originated as an English or Germanic surname before occasionally being used as a given name. It may derive from an Old English occupational term for a bee-keeper (combining 'bee' with 'man'), or from the German personal name Behmann. The name gained some recognition in America after Bob Beamon's record-breaking long jump at the 1968 Olympics. As a given name, Beamon remains quite rare, giving it distinction and uniqueness. It has a strong, masculine sound with its two syllables and ending consonant. The name carries connotations of strength and achievement, particularly for those familiar with the Olympic connection.

Pronounced BEE-mun.

As of October 2026, Beamon ranked #3583 in US births in 1936 SSA, peaked at #3289 in 1935.
