Common variants include Delmar (Spanish-influenced), Delmer (Anglicized), Delamare and Delamere (Norman forms). Less common spellings such as Delmaree or Delmarr appear. The name's appeal lies in its tranquil, aquatic imagery, while the final -e lends a French-leaning polish. Nicknames may include Del, Dell, or Mare.
