Beimer Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
This surname derives from Low Saxon bäumer or böhmer, loosely translating to 'gate keeper'. Brought from the Saxon language to Frisian via the movement of the family from Steinfurt Germany to Friesland, the spelling of the name has changed and produced several variations to adapt to the sounds and orthography of Dutch, Frisian, and English. The meaning of the name can be examined further, with the root beim meaning 'tree', being cognate with other Germanic languages (for instance, Frisian beam - 'tree', and English beam having the same origin). This is significant as some old German settlements defined their borders with beams of wood or tree trunks. Therefore, the original Beimers family was that which was charged with guarding these borders and their entry points, thus leading to a meaning of 'gatekeeper'.
