Ademar is a masculine Germanic name, ultimately derived from Audamar, as is the German form Otmar.[1] It was in use in medieval France, Latinized as Adamarus, and in modern times has been popular in French, Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries.[2] A feminine form Adamardis seems to have been in use from the 10th century, reduced to Aanord, Aenor by the 12th.

In the Portuguese language, Ademar is the current spelling, Adhemar being an archaic version of the name.
