Last name origin & meaning:
English: habitational name from any of the numerous places so
named, in northern France as well as in England. These are named with
the Old French elements riche ‘rich’, ‘splendid’ + mont
‘hill’. Richmond in North Yorkshire was named after a Richmont in
France immediately after the Norman Conquest, and in many if not most
cases the English surname can de derived from this place. Richmond in
southwest London received this name only in the reign of Henry VII, in
honor of the king, who had been Earl of Richmond until he came to the
throne, and is unlikely to be the source of this surname.
