Origins Available: English, Irish Where did the English Aylmer family come from? What is the English Aylmer family crest and coat of arms? When did the Aylmer family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Aylmer family history? The Aylmer surname is a habitational derived from the place name Elmore in Gloucestershire. The place name is in turn derived from the Old English "elm," meaning "elm," and "ofer," meaning "river bank," or "ridge."It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Aylmer are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. The variations of the name Aylmer include: Aylmer, Aylmore, Elmar, Elmer, Elmers, Elmore and others. First found in Hampshire, where the first on record appears to have been Godwinus filius Elmari listed in 1115. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Aylmer research.

Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Aylmer or a variant listed above: Richard Elmore, who came to Boston in 1632; Edward Elmore, who came to Boston in 1632; Henry Elmore, who arrived in Virginia in 1653;Charles Elmore, who settled in Maryland in 1671.
