Name Meaning
English: nickname from Middle English palmer(e) ‘palmer, pilgrim to the Holy Land’ (Anglo-Norman French palmer, Old French pa(l)mer, paum(i)er), so called from the palm branch carried by such pilgrims.

This surname is also common in Ireland, where it has been recorded from the 13th century onward.
