Dietmar

Dietmar is a Germanic given name composed of two Old High German elements: theud, meaning people or folk, and māri, meaning famous or renowned, giving the overall sense of famous among the people. The name was borne in the medieval period by various German nobles and clerics, reflecting the common Germanic tradition of combining tribal and honorific elements in personal names. Related forms include the Latinized Theodemar and the Old French-derived Thiemer, while the shortened form Ditmar also appears in historical records.
