Re: Bloodmoor (poss. Bludmer??) - Anglo Saxon + Witta - circa 900 ad
I think literally, blood swamp, especially with Anglo Saxon origin. Moor is a common term used in Scotland, where there is/was a large Saxon population. Old English for blood is just blod, and most other similar and related languages had something very similar to blood.
