MEANING & HISTORY
What does Limar mean?
Limar is explicitly recorded in Cebuano as Ramil written in reverse. Reversal is the immediate personal-name formation.
Ramil has its own language histories, but reversing its letters does not independently create a new word with the same literal grammar. The source identifies a spelling process rather than an ancient compound.
