 England
The name Lomar was brought to England in the wave of migration that followed the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Lomar family lived in Norfolk. Their name, however, is a reference to their place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, St. Lomer, Normandy, now called Lomer-Sur-Guerne. Alternatively, Leomer was listed as a baptismal name in the Domesday Book. 1 Early Origins of the Lomar familyThe surname Lomar was first found in Norfolk where they held a family seat from early times, after the Norman Conquest in 1066.

Migration of the Lomar familyFor many English families, the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change.
