Surname Mitchemore - Meaning and Origin

Mitchemore: What does the surname Mitchemore mean?

The surname Mitchemore is of English origin, typically associated with locales in South Devon in the United Kingdom. The name is believed to be a toponymic surname, which is a type of surname derived from a place name. It seems to be derived from the name of a location called Michelmore, which no longer exists or its name changed over the centuries. Variants of the name include Muchmore and Michmore. As with many ancient surnames, the exact meaning of Mitchemore is not definitively known since the origins of the name are lost to time and linguistic evolution. However, often these types of surnames traditionally represented geographical locations or characteristics of a landscape. While the specific meaning of "Mitchemore" is unclear, the “-more” part is typically a derivative of the Old English term "mor," meaning marsh or fen. It's plausible that the name literally refers to a larger ("mickle" in Old English) marshy area. As with all surnames, the exact meaning can vary based on historical and regional contexts.
