Possibly a combination of Sherman and Lamar
Shermar is a modern American invention, likely created by blending the English surname Sherman, meaning 'shearer of cloth,' with the French-derived Lamar, meaning 'of the sea.' It emerged in the late 20th century as a unique rhythmic choice within African American naming traditions. Because it is a contemporary coinage, it lacks a singular ancient etymology.
