Seamore is English in Origin.

Seamore is a modern respelling of Seymour, an English given name derived from a surname of Norman French origin. The surname traces to the toponym Saint-Maur (de Saint-Maur), referring to places dedicated to Saint Maurus; thus the name means “from Saint-Maur.” Through Saint Maurus, it indirectly connects to Latin Maurus, “a Moor; dark-complected,” though the English name is primarily locational rather than descriptive.

As a given name, Seymour emerged from the prominent Tudor-era Seymour family - most notably Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VIII - and found steady use in the 18th–19th centuries across the English-speaking world, peaking in the early 20th century. Seamore offers a contemporary, phonetic twist that may also suggest a playful “sea + more” echo to modern ears. Established variants include Seymour and Seymore; playful spellings Seemore and Seamor occur. Diminutives include Sy. Cognates linked to the Maurus root include Mauro and Maur.
