The surname Lorimer has its origins in Ireland. It is derived from the Irish Gaelic word "luirmeach," which means "leather worker" or "saddle maker." The Lorimers were known for their skill in crafting saddles and other leather goods.
The surname Lorimer first appeared in written records in the 13th century. The earliest known Lorimer family in Ireland was located in County Antrim. Over time, the Lorimer name spread to other parts of Ireland, including County Down and County Armagh.
During the medieval period, Lorimers played an important role in Irish society. They were responsible for making and repairing saddles and other leather equipment used by knights and warriors. Their craftsmanship was highly valued, and they often held positions of prominence in their communities.
In the centuries that followed, many Lorimers emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. Today, there are Lorimer descendants living in these countries and others throughout the world.
The Lorimer surname continues to be a reminder of the proud Irish heritage of the skilled leather workers who bore this name.
