Dunmoor is in Origin.

Dunmoor is a modern, surname-style given name most often linked to the Irish and Scottish place-surname Dunmore, from Irish Gaelic Dún Mór, meaning “great fort.” Its double‑o spelling is likely influenced by English moor “heath” and by Old English dūn “hill,” so the name can also be read evocatively as “fort on the moor” or “hill by the moor,” blending Celtic and English elements.

As a family name, Dunmore is attested from the medieval period around fortified sites in Ireland and Scotland; as a first name Dunmoor is rare and contemporary, rising with the Anglophone trend of adopting surnames as given names. Variants and relatives include Dunmore (standard), Dunmoore, Dunmor, and the Irish Dúnmór; Dunmoor is usable for any gender.
