Meaning & History

From Old English eoh "horse, steed" and #mære "famous, illustrious, known". Eomer was, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the great-great-grandfather of Creoda of Mercia, the first King of Mercia. His name may be the basis for the fictional Lord of the Rings character Éomer.
