      The name Lattemore is believed to be of English origin and is likely a variant of the surname Latimer. Surnames often evolved based on geographical regions, occupations, or personal characteristics, and Lattemore is no exception. The name may derive from the Old French latimier, which means interpreter or one who speaks Latin, suggesting an association with scholars or those engaged in religious or legal professions during the Middle Ages.

      Historically, names similar to Lattemore have been documented in various regions of England, particularly after the Norman Conquest in 1066. The name Latimer has been traced back to prominent figures, such as Hugh Latimer, a renowned English Protestant martyr in the 16th century. As surnames became hereditary, variations like Lattemore emerged, reflecting local dialects and changes in pronunciation. Although less common today, these historical roots highlight the enduring significance of family lineage and profession in name evolution.
