My name is Vincent IMMER, not jewish from swiss/french origin and living in
Israel for 10 years now. I am wondering what is the real origin of my
familly name.
I thought it comes from german, IMMER, which means ALLWAYS.
I just discovered that this familly name, IMMER or IMME^R, (or IMER
sometimes) in english, appears in the Bible related to Cohen people, priest in
exil in Babylon.
I wondered why the hebrew name was translated in latin with two m?
And also I wondered what is the root of this word or its meaning, I read
on this list the it means CONSERVED, or GUARDED (which is in this case not so
far from the meaning ALLWAYS by the way....).
By the way in searching other mentions of this word in the bible I found
it 9 times, it sounds sometimes as a location more than a familly name like
"the people from the location immer", might it be possible too?
Thank you for you help
Vincent IMMER
Dear Vincent:
Being of Swiss origin, perhaps IMMER is a corruption of IMKER, which means
beekeeper.
