Lamarr combines the prefix 'La-' (commonly used in modern naming for its melodic quality, originally meaning 'the' in Romance languages) with 'marr,' possibly derived from the French 'mar' (sea) or as a variant of Lamar (which itself may come from Old French 'de la mare' meaning 'of the pool'). The name gained prominence partly through actor/inventor Hedy Lamarr, though as a surname in her case. As a given name, Lamarr saw modest popularity in the United States from the 1960s through the 1990s. The doubled 'r' spelling distinguishes it from the more common Lamar. The name exemplifies the trend of adopting surnames or place names as personal names, with modified spellings to create distinctive variations.
