othramar

place name. ?Stranger Home

A name appearing in Notes on Names (NN) from 1957, also written Othranar and originally written as (deleted and incomplete) Athlama (PE17/141). Its initial element is a variant of othol “stranger, guest” (originally aþal), and its final element appears to be bâr “home”, so perhaps it means “✱Stranger Home”.
