Delmor is English in Origin.

Delmor is a modern masculine given name shaped by surname and place‑name patterns, usually viewed as a variant of Delmar, Delmer, or Delmore. Etymology points to Spanish del mar “of the sea,” or to Anglo‑Norman French de la mare/mere “of the pool/sea,” which fed English surnames such as Delamare and Delmer. Another route ties it to the English topographic blend dell + moor behind Delmore. Meanings therefore include “of the sea,” “by the pool,” or “from the moor.”

As a given name it remains rare, surfacing in early‑ to mid‑20th‑century North American records, likely following Delmar’s brief vogue. Variants include Delmar, Delmer, Delmore, and Delmour; an occasional feminine analog is Delmara. Nicknames Del and Mor are typical, giving Delmor a vintage feel with maritime or moorland overtones.
