Shermon

Shermon is a variant of the more common name Sherman, which has English origins derived from the Old English occupational surname meaning 'shearer of cloth' or 'cloth cutter.' The variation with an 'o' instead of an 'a' gives it a slightly distinctive sound while maintaining the same roots. Though relatively uncommon in the United States and globally, Shermon carries the dignified, somewhat formal quality of its traditional counterpart. The name saw limited popularity during the mid-20th century but remains rare today. Those named Shermon might appreciate its connection to notable historical figures who bore the Sherman spelling, including American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman.

Pronounced SHER-mun.

As of October 2026, Shermon ranked #14073 in US births in 2007 SSA, peaked at #2153 in 1947.
