What is the meaning of the name Aimar ?

The baby name Aimar is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EYE-mar (English); ai-MAR (Spanish/Basque). IPA: /ˈaɪmɑr/, /aiˈmar/.

Aimar is Basque in Origin.

Aimar is a pan-European given name with medieval roots, most commonly linked to the Occitan/Old French Aymar, from a Continental Germanic compound: haim 'home, settlement' + mari 'famous, renowned'. The sense is 'renowned at home' or 'famous household'. In the Basque Country the spelling Aimar is standard and widely used today; it also appears in Estonian calendars and in Spanish-speaking countries, sometimes as a surname.

Attested as Aimar/Aymar among nobles in southern France (e.g., the viscounts of Limoges), the name traveled through Romance courts and crusader circles, later yielding literary and ecclesiastic bearers. Variant forms and cognates include Aymar, Aymer, Aimery/Aimeric, Aymeric, and the related Aimarus/Haimar in medieval Latin and German. Modern diminutives are rare; short forms sometimes mirror the base (Aim, Mar) depending on language. While unisex in occasional modern use, Aimar is traditionally masculine.
