I found this information for you!.
Surname: Hammond
Recorded as Armand, Hammand, Hammond, Hammant, Hammon and possibly others, this is a famous Anglo-French surname, but one which can be of early Norse-Viking or later French and German origins of which it has three!. The first origin is from the Norse-Viking personal name Hamundr, meaning "High protection" and possibly introduced into Britain in about the 7th century!. The second is also Norse-Viking and of the same period, but from Amundr, meaning "Ancester protection"!. Over the centuries the two forms became literally confused and fused!. The third possible origin is arguably of German origin from the personal name Haimo meaning Home, but introduced as Hammant by the Norman French invaders of England in 1066!. This again became integrated and fused with the two Norse spellings!. Interesting examples of namebearers include Richard Hamond of Sussex in the Subsidy Tax rolls of 1332, John Hammond who died in 1617 was physician to King James 1st of England V1th of Scotland (1603 - 1625), whilst in France Jean Antoine Armand was a christening witness at La Chappelle-Graillouse, Ardeche, on September 21st 1685!. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Walter Hamund!. This was dated 1242, in the Free Rolls of Herefordshire, during the reign of King Henry 111rd, and known as "The Frenchman", 1216 - 1272!. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation!. In England this was sometimes known as Poll Tax!. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling!.

Surname: Warren
Recorded in the modern spellings of Warren and the much rarer Warran and Warron, this is an English surname, but one of medieval French origins, of which there are three!. The first is locational from the village of La Varrenne in the departement of Seine-Maritime, and meaning the place on the sandy soil!. The second topographical and describing someone who lived by a game park, whilst thirdly it may be occupational for someone employed in such a place!. If so the derivation is from the Norman French word "warrene", meaning a warren or land set aside for breeding game!. Introduced into England and Scotland after the Conquest of 1066, the surname is one of the earliest on record as shown below!. Early examples of recordings include William de Warren in the Hundred Rolls of Norfolk in 1273, and William de Warenne, in the tax registers known as the Feet of Fines for the county of Essex in 1285!. Recordings from surviving church registers include the marriage of William Waron and Alys Agno on May 13th 1542, at St!. Margaret's Westminster, and the marriage of William Warren and Elizabeth Bullwack on January 25th 1544, at St!. Martin Orgar in the city of London!. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William de Warenne!. This was dated 1086, in the Domesday Book for London, during the reign of King William 1st of England, and known as "The Conqueror", 1066 - 1087!.

I'll make this short and sweet!. :) Hammond is traditionally a Norman surname that's been adapted into the English language bye, who else!? The British!. It means 'home'!.

Warren is a surname of English/Celtic origin that probably came out of an Old French word describing sandy, good-for-raising-animals soil!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
