Delmar ♀ Mainly U.S.: of uncertain derivation, possibly from Spanish del mar ‘of the sea’, which occurs in various place names as a distinguishing epithet and also in the Marian title Reina del Mar ‘Queen of the Sea’. It may alternatively have originated as an alteration of Elmer (compare Delroy and Elroy) or as a transferred use of the surname, a reduced form of Delamar, a local Norman name from any of the places in northern France called La Mare ‘the pond’.
