Some claim that the origin of the surname comes from obscure French Saint Mammes, later changed to Mamon, then to Mamo in Malta, after emigration.

An Israeli student pointed out that "Mamo" could either be derived from Mammon (meaning wealth in Jewish and which gave the name "mammona" to the devil) or else from "Maimon", a Jewish surname (there is a famous Jewish philosopher Moses Maimonides).

In Malta, this name dates back to the 16th century, when Simone Mamo appeared on "The list of Non-Titled Maltese families"

Mamo Tower, located at St Thomas' Bay, Malta. Reference to this tower is made in Stephen C. Spiteri's book "The Knights' Fortifications" (1989) pages 172-173.
