Guiomar is Germanic in Origin.
Guiomar is a Spanish and Portuguese given name with medieval roots. It ultimately derives from a continental Germanic compound - Wigmar/Wimar - formed from wig ‘battle’ and mari ‘famous,’ hence the meaning “famous in battle” or “renowned warrior.” The form spread into Old French (as Guiomar/Guigomar) and into Iberia through Visigothic and Romance-era contact, where the spelling with Gui- became standard.
In sources of Arthurian romance a knight named Guiomar/Guigomar appears, and in the Iberian Middle Ages the name occurs in charters and poetry; in modern times it is especially recognized as a feminine name in Spanish and Portuguese, borne by figures such as the Brazilian pianist Guiomar Novaes. Usage today is uncommon but steady in Portugal, Spain, and Brazil. Related and variant forms include Guimar, Wimar/Wigmar, and the French surname Guimard; a feminized extension Guiomara also appears. Nicknames may include Gui or Gio.
