Meaning & History
This name was used by the medieval writer and philosopher Ramon Llull in his novel Blanquerna (1283), where it belongs to the mother of the main character. Llull possibly based it on the masculine name Alomar (nowadays found as a surname - see Alomar), which derives from the Germanic name ALDEMAR. In more recent times this name was used by the Catalan author Mercè Rodoreda for the heroine of her novel Aloma (1936).
