a male given name from Old High German
Where this word comes from
From an Old High German compound name, from the elements waltan (“rule, govern”) (from Proto-West Germanic *wald) + māri (“famous, great”) (from *mārī). Merged with Scandinavian Valdemar, apparently from the semantically and formally similar Slavic name *Voldiměrъ, which is sometimes considered to also derive from the same pre-Old High German name *waldimӕ̄r-.
