Origins of surname
This is an old English name derived from deye, meaning a keeper of livestock. Although we accept that Diment is a variant, we are less positive about Diamond, and some of the other suggested spelling variations.
Early records
Dimond first appeared in Jersey records in 1860, when John, from Devon, married Jane Wright in St Helier.
