Variants in spelling and pronunciation commonly appear in documentation, including Weimer and Wiemer. In some cases, the surname may be recorded as Weimarer or in other local forms, reflecting dialectal differences and regional orthography. The distribution of the name has been influenced by migration patterns, with notable concentrations in areas of German settlement abroad, particularly in North America.
