McAmmond is a form of Hammack. Devonshire surnames, believed to be derived from the Teutonic personal name Almaric or Almeric. In the Domesday of Devonshire, Haimericus holds Poltimore and other lands in capite, and he was probably the founder of the family. The usual orthography prior to the beginning of the XVIII. century was Halmarick, but it has been subsequently still further corruptedby some of its bearers by the substitution of the letter M for the liquid L—the obvious result of a rapid pronunciation of the word. At length it was contracted to a dissyllable. The older spelling is still preserved by a Staffordshire branch of the family. The baronet (created 1834) is of the Devonshire stock. The variation from Hammick to Hammack in another branch is said to have originated in a misspelling of the name in a royal commission.
