Seymour

US Popularity:19904
Origin:Latin
Meaning:Saint-Maur
Suddenly, Seymour is standing beside you! Seymour is a boy's name of Latin origin that means "Saint-Maur." Saint-Maur is a placename from northern France and led to Seymour being used as a last name. When Norman aristocrats landed in and conquered England in the early 11th century, they were often known by the names of the places they left in France. Appearing many times in popular culture, Seymour is perhaps most popular as a first name, thanks to the nervously charming Seymour from Little Shop of Horrors, or the long-suffering Principal Seymour Skinner from The Simpsons.
