MEANING & HISTORY
What does Almar mean?
Nordic Names gives two documented routes for Almar: a younger form of Almarr and a masculine form of Alma. Its cited name books therefore do not support treating every Almar as the same two-part construction.
Both accounts are retained rather than selecting a root from the spelling alone.
