Kelmond is a district of the village Geverik in the municipality of Beek in Limburg , Netherlands . The village consists of 70 farms and houses with around 150 residents (as of January 1, 2017).
The name Kelmonds comes from the 15th century when it was still Calmont , which is derived from the Latin name calvum montem and means "the bald mountain".
In the fields around Kelmond a large number of small streams arise, which flow to Beek and have given the community its name.
