Fylmer Origin and Meaning

The name Fylmer is a boy's name.

Fylmer is an extremely rare masculine name with possible Old Norse or Germanic origins. It may be a variant spelling of Filmer, which derives from the Old English 'filmaer' meaning 'famous film' or 'great parchment maker.' The name carries an air of antiquity and uniqueness. Fylmer has never been common in modern usage, remaining well outside popularity charts in most countries. Its distinctive spelling with the 'y' gives it a somewhat medieval or fantastical quality. The name might appeal to parents seeking something truly uncommon with historical undertones while still maintaining a recognizable pronunciation.
