    Is there a meaning other than the place in the name
    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

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

    Do you mean Cimarron?

    Main Entry: Cim·ar·ron
    Pronunciation: \ˈsi-mə-ˌrän, -ˌrōn, -rən\
    Function: geographical name

    River flowing E from NE New Mexico through SW Kansas into Arkansas River in NE Oklahoma

    From thinkbabynames.com --

    The boy's name Cimarron \ ci-marron, cim(ar)-ron\, also used as girl's name Cimarron. Place name: a city in western Kansas and a river that runs 650 miles across the Great Plains from New Mexico to Oklahoma. Made famous by an Edna Ferber novel that was the basis for movies made in 1933 and 1961.

    Cimarron has 3 variant forms: Cimeron, Simarron and Simeron.

    A baby name that sounds like Cimarron is Zimran.

    Cimarron is an uncommon first name for men and an equally uncommon last name for both men and women. (1990 U.S. Census)

    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.

    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.)

    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
