Reply to: Clodomira by summerRaine
Here's my guess:

The first part, Clodo- looks like it's related to Clodovicus, which is in the user submitted names section. It's related to the Lud- from Ludwig, so it means "fame".

The second part, -mer, could be related to the Germanic element "meri", meaning "famous".

So I suppose Clodomira could mean "fame famous" or "famous fame". :)
