I'm not completely sure where this post should go, but I'm curious about the name Cimerron (also spelled Cimerran for females). I know that there is a place named this but is there any other meaning to the name?

I really like this name and may use it in the future, but only if I can find out if there are other meanings to this. I wouldn't want to name a baby something without knowing the meanings

Here is one meaning.

There are plenty more from novels places. Also there is a car with that same name.

Thank you very much Califdadof3

I found that as well. But I prefer the one spelled with an e, I was just wondering if there were any meanings besides the place

I'm guessing it's an Indian word.

Here you go -- it means "sheep" --

The river's name comes from the early Spanish name, Río de los Carneros Cimarrón, which is usually translated as River of the Wild Sheep.

Thank you both!

I'm not so sure I would name my baby a word that mean "sheep."

When I was your age, I so wanted to name my first daughter Winona. That was the name of an Indian maiden in one of my favorite novels. Thankfully, God sent me sons. (I would hate myself now had I named a daughter "Winona" -- sorry, Winona Ryder.)

I used to want to name my first daughter Hana (flower). Now I want to name my daughter Lyra (Harp)

And the kids in school will tease her and call her "Liar."

My younger son is Jeremy -- was called "Germany" and "Germy" all through school.

That's horrible!
At my school, names is something people leave be. No one really makes fun of them. Except people used to call me Nole because one day a substitute mispronounced my name

Better then a musical instrument.
