Palmiro Meaning

Means "pilgrim" in Italian. In medieval times it denoted one who had been a pilgrim to Palestine. It is ultimately from the word palma meaning "palm tree", because of the custom of pilgrims to bring palm fronds home with them. The name is sometimes given to a child born on Palm Sunday. Palmiro is an Italian variant of Palmer. Palmer is derived from the Old English names "Palmer or Paumier", which mean "pilgrimage". The name was taken to mean that the parents of the bearer went to a pilgrimage to the Holy land.
