History:
Its likely that smaller family movements, maybe due to jobs or marriage, explain its spread. Families probably settled near relatives or where work and resources were available.
Description:
My search through lots of different resources came up empty.
But lets imagine how this surname might change over time. Maybe people started spelling it simpler, like "Gotmar," losing the final "e". Or perhaps a tiny change like "Gotmere" appeared, adding an "r" to make it sound better. Theres even a small chance a variation like "Gotmarsson" exists—if the original person with this surname had a common first name, "Gotmar," for example, and this became a family name. These are just guesses, though. To know for sure, wed need to do some serious detective work!.
