What is the meaning of the name Ardmor ?

The baby name Ardmor is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɑːrdmɔːr/ (ARD-more).

Ardmor is Irish, Scottish Gaelic in Origin.

Ardmor pairs the Gaelic elements ard ("high, tall, elevated") and mór ("great, large"), yielding the sense "great height," "high promontory," or "big high place." The compound appears widely as a toponym, most famously Ardmore in County Waterford, Ireland, as well as several Scottish locales, and those place names gave rise to surnames. As a given name, Ardmor reads as a Celtic place-name transfer with a strong, rugged landscape feel.

Usage as a personal name remains very rare, with modern adoption from the late 20th century onward as parents sought distinctive Gaelic forms; it works as a unisex choice. Variants and spellings include Ardmore (more common), Ardmór (Irish), Ard Mòr (Scottish Gaelic), and Ard Mor or Ard-Mor; nicknames can be Ard, Ardie, or Mor. The medieval Irish feminine name Mór ("great") reinforces the element's pedigree, lending Ardmor a subtle link to early Gaelic naming traditions.
