Etymology
Borrowed from Old Norse hamarr, or from Middle Low German, Middle Dutch hamer (cf. German Hammer, English hammer). First mentioned in 17h-century dictionaries as āmars, it occurred later as āmers under the influence of German Hammer; in the 19th century, however, the spelling āmurs became dominant and entered the standard language.

hamarr', German Nouns '
Hammer', English Nouns '
hammer', German Nouns '
Hammer'.
