Beaumont
English (of Norman origin) and French: habitational name from any
of the five places in Normandy or several others elsewhere in France
so named. The place name comes from Old French beu, bel
‘fair’, ‘lovely’ + mont ‘hill’. There are also places in
England so named under Norman influence (in Cumberland, Lancashire,
and Essex, the last of which changed its name in the 12th century from
Fulepet ‘foul pit’ to Bealmont ‘beautiful hill’); these
may also have given rise to cases of the surname. The surname is now
widespread throughout England, but most common in Yorkshire.
