Blamor is Gaelic in Origin.

Blamor is a rare masculine given name from Arthurian romance, transmitted via Old French into the Middle English tradition. The bearer best known in literature is Sir Blamor de Ganis, brother of Bleoberis and cousin to Lancelot, who appears in the 13th-century French Vulgate Cycle and in Malory’s 15th-century Le Morte Darthur. As a literary rather than baptismal name, it surfaced in manuscripts and romances but seldom, if ever, in medieval parish records.

Its etymology is uncertain: scholars note no secure Old French or Celtic root, so the meaning is unknown. Spellings include Blamor, Blamore, and Old French Blamors; modern respellings such as Blaemor occur rarely. There is no established feminine form. Today Blamor is extremely uncommon as a given name, occasionally revived for its chivalric associations and its link to Lancelot’s kin among the knights of the Round Table.
