A Hammond organ.
"The vintage church choir performed an upbeat hymn on a classic red Hammond organ."
An English patronymic surname, from given names.
"The Hammond family gathered in their ancestral home to celebrate a reunion of the English patronymic surname lineage."
The surname Hammond originates from the Anglo-Norman name Hamo, which derives from Germanic roots meaning "home." While some rivers and parishes bear this name to honor Sir Andrew Hamond, the word itself entered English as a family name rather than describing an object or concept.
