Delmore
English origin
“An English-language adaptation of Delmar emphasizing the 'more' element (suggesting 'greater' or 'additional'), Delmore has literary and dignified connotations. The name was popularized in early-to-mid 20th-century America and carries both sophistication and warmth. It suggests someone thoughtful and accomplished.”
