Altmore

Altmore is a placename of probable Scottish Gaelic origin. While a definitive etymology is not universally agreed upon, the name is typically interpreted as deriving from "Allt Mòr," meaning "Great Burn" or "Large Stream." The "allt" element refers to a burn, stream, or small river, a common feature in the Scottish landscape. "Mòr" signifies "great" or "large" in Gaelic.

The name Altmore can be found associated with geographical locations in Scotland, including farmsteads, hills, and possibly larger settlements or districts, although generally denoting a relatively small area. It is often used in conjunction with other descriptive words to more precisely identify a particular location. The presence of a significant watercourse would be a typical characteristic of any place named Altmore.

It is important to note that variations in spelling and pronunciation may occur depending on local dialects and historical usage. Further research, consulting local historical records and linguistic resources, may be needed to determine the specific history and significance of any particular instance of the name Altmore.
