Etymology of CutmoreWhat does the name Cutmore mean? The name of Cutmore is Celtic in origin, arising from the rugged landscape of Wales. The name is directly derived from when the Cutmore family lived on Cudmore Farm in Barapton, in the county of Devon. Alternatively, the name could have originated in Codmore Farm in Pulborough, Sussex. 1 The surname Cutmore belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. Early Origins of the Cutmore familyThe surname Cutmore was first found in West Sussex, England where John de Codmere was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of 1327.

It was also common for members of a same surname to change their names slightly, in order to signify a branch loyalty within the family, a religious adherence, or even patriotic affiliations. For all of these reasons, the many spelling variations of particular Welsh names are very important.
