Meaning & History

Short form of Palmarius and Palmatius.

Today, this name is obsolete, but it still survives in several patronymic surnames, of which Palm and Palmen are the most notable. They are chiefly prevalent in the historical Rhineland region in western Germany, and in the Limburgish language area (primarily located in the southern Netherlands and eastern Flanders in Belgium).
