Phillimore Vad efternamn betyder
variant of Finnemore with late medieval or early post-medieval change from -n- to -l-.perhaps also from a minor place in Slimbridge (Gloucs) of uncertain etymology recorded as Fyllymore in 1562 (Gloucs Archives ) which is apparently the same as Fulemore recorded between 1200 and 1212 (Berkeley Castle Muniments ).perhaps also from Fullamoor in Whitchurch (Devon). Compare Roger de Fulemore 1309 in Patent Rolls (Devon); Roger Folemore 1309 in TNA (Devon); [... de] Folamor 1346 in Place-Names of Devon . The place-name probably derives from Old English fola ‘foal’ + mōr ‘moor’.
