Atmore is English in Origin.

Atmore is an English locative surname turned given name, rooted in Middle English atte + mor(e), literally “at the moor.” The elements trace to Old English æt “at” and mōr “moor, marshland,” marking someone who lived by open heath or boggy ground. As with Atwood (“at the wood”) and Atwell (“at the spring”), it belongs to the medieval “at-the-place” surname family, carrying a quietly pastoral meaning of “dweller by the moor.”

Use as a first name is rare but longstanding in Britain and the English-speaking world, often adopted to preserve a maternal family name or signal local ties; scattered baptisms appear from the 18th–19th centuries, and the surname is familiar in North America via place names such as Atmore, Alabama. Spellings and related forms include Attmore, Atmoor, and Attmoor; diminutives are uncommon. Atmore reads as a tailored, unisex choice with heritage and landscape resonance.
