Eimer
Eimer Origin and Meaning
Eimer is an unusual feminine name with Germanic roots, though it's more widely recognized as a surname or word rather than a given name. In German, 'Eimer' literally means 'bucket' or 'pail,' deriving from Old High German 'einbar' meaning 'one-carrier.' As a personal name, it remains extremely rare. The name might have originated as an occupational surname for someone who made or sold buckets before occasionally transitioning to first-name usage. In some contexts, it could be a variant spelling of Elmer or Aymer. Its distinctive sound and uncommon nature make it a unique choice, though the everyday object association in German-speaking regions might be a consideration for parents. In English-speaking contexts, its rarity gives it a distinctive quality.
