The surname Dormer has its origins in Ireland, where it is believed to have been derived from the Gaelic surname "Ó Dornmhair," which translates to "descendant of Dornmhar." The Gaelic name "Dornmhar" is thought to have been a personal name meaning "great fist" or "strong hand."
The earliest records of the surname Dormer in Ireland date back to the 17th century, where it was primarily found in the southern counties of Cork and Waterford. Over time, the spelling of the name evolved, and variations such as Doran, Dorner, and Dornan emerged.
It is worth noting that the surname Dormer is not as common in Ireland as some other Irish surnames, as it is believed to have been of English origin and brought to Ireland by English settlers during the medieval period. This is further supported by the fact that the surname Dormer is more prevalent in England, particularly in the counties of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, where the Dormer family held significant estates.
Despite its English origins, the surname Dormer has been embraced by individuals of Irish descent over the years, and many Irish families proudly bear this surname today.
