Sagremor is in Origin.

Sagremor is a literary given name from the Arthurian tradition, attested in 12th–13th-century Old French romances and sustained in later English retellings. As Sir Sagremor le Desirous, he appears in the Vulgate Cycle and the Post‑Vulgate, then in Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, usually depicted as a fiery, eager knight of the Round Table. The name thus belongs to the corpus of medieval chivalric onomastics rather than traditional saintly or royal name pools.

Its linguistic origin is debated. Most scholars treat Sagremor/Sagramor as an Old French adaptation of a Brittonic (Celtic) personal name, though no secure etymology exists; the popular epithet le Desirous (“ardent, eager”) explains his characterization but not the name’s root. Recorded variants include Sagramor, Sagramore, Sagremore, Segremor, and Sagramour; modern spelling often follows Malory’s Sagramore or the French Sagremor. With meaning uncertain, modern use treats it as a distinctive literary revival, evoking zeal and knightly valor.
