Weimer

Weimer is a proper noun that may denote a surname and, less commonly, a place name. The surname Weimer is of German origin and often derives from the toponymic name associated with the city of Weimar in Thuringia, Germany; the spelling variant can reflect transliteration, regional pronunciation, or historical changes during immigration. As a surname, it appears among people in Germany and in communities abroad with German heritage.

Geographically, references to a distinct place named Weimer are not common in current official gazetteers. When encountered, such usage is typically local or historical and does not correspond to a widely recognized city or town on modern maps. In most contemporary references, Weimer is encountered as a family name rather than a standalone geographic entity.

Because of its close resemblance to Weimar, readers should distinguish between references to the German city and those that use the spelling Weimer for a surname or local name. The name Weimer can thus appear in biographical, genealogical, or historical contexts without implying a separate, well-defined locality. See also Weimar.
