Meaning & History
Possibly derived from Guanche *(a)nəssamar meaning literally "man who invites, lets someone pass or grants passage to someone; man who presents or submits something". This was listed in a baptismal register from Seville dating to the 15th century; the sex and age of the bearer were not recorded. In modern times it has been used as a Canarian feminine name.
