    Blackmore has Anglo-Saxon origins and translated from the Old English "Blaec" (black) and mor (moor) represents a dark marsh area where families would have made a settlement nearby.

    There were two places called Blakmore in Anglo Saxon times; a parish near to St Albans and also another near Winchester.

    Variants of the name include Blakemore, Blackmore, Blackamore and Blackmere.

    Many names go back to such historic times and it is worth exploring your family tree to discover more about the origins of where you came from.
