Meaning and history
Delmar has distinct Spanish and English surname origins. In Spanish it can reflect del mar, meaning “of the sea.” As an English surname, it may derive from Norman French de la mare, “from the pool” or “from the pond.” The similar forms later converged in given-name use, so no single source applies universally. Notable bearers include American actor and photographer Delmar Watson and American football player Delmar Glaze.
