Ulmer is a Germanic given name, derived from the German word "ulmen," which means "elm tree." This name has been used historically among various Germanic-speaking peoples and was quite common during the Middle Ages in Germany. However, its usage has become less frequent over time, making it somewhat rare today.
"The name Ulmer experienced a noticeable peak in popularity during the early 1920s, with a high of nine births in 1923. However, it seems to have been less common in other years, ranging from five to seven births annually. Overall, there were a total of eighty-eight children named Ulmer born between 1911 and 1935."
