History & Origin
Valmore reads as a transferred surname carried into first-name use in the early twentieth century, its val- element pointing to a valley. It appears in old French and literary contexts and reached America as an uncommon, formal-sounding choice for boys, part of the era's taste for grand two-part names.
Valmore was always rare, given to only about twenty boys a year at its faint peak in the late nineteen-tens and gone from common use by mid-century. A boy named Valmore then would be gone or very elderly today.
