Wimmer Family History
Wimmer Name Meaning
German: shortened form of Widmer . German: occupational name from Middle High German wimmer ‘wine maker’. German: nickname from Middle High German wim(m)er ‘knotty growth on a tree trunk’. German: variant of Weimer English: possibly from the Middle English personal name Winemer from Old English Winemǣr composed of elements wine ‘friend’ + mǣr ‘famous’. However there is little evidence that this has persisted as a surname and if it has it is likely to have been confused with Wymer .
